In the lawsuit, filed in Texas where both companies are based, Bosque Ranch is accusing Free Rein of using a logo and “cowboy” theme that is nearly identical to their own coffee brand.
Bosque Ranch launched their coffee in June, an use a trademarked “B” and “R” logo, promotes the cowboy way of life, and are alleging trademark infringement against Free Rein, which launched in October, who uses a stylized “F” and “R” and also promotes a cowboy way of life.
The lawsuit claims that Cole‘s Free Rein is “confusingly similar to the BR Brand used by Bosque Ranch” and “likely to cause confusion or to cause mistake or to deceive.”
Bosque Ranch is seeking a jury trial and says they are entitled to all of Free Rein’s “profits, damage compensation, prejudgement interest and legal fee coverage.”
Speaking of Yellowstone, the show’s final episodes finally have a premiere date.
