Cointreau sues over Quatreau trademark
Lawsuit filed
Rémy Cointreau sued Canopy Growth, alleging that its Quatreau CBD-infused sparkling water brand infringed Cointreau’s trademark. Cointreau said the alleged infringement could cause irreparable business damage; the article reports allegations, not a court determination.
Source excerpt
The liqueur brand claims it could see ‘irreparable damage’ to its business with the alleged infringement on its trademark, as the two brands sell drinks through the same trade channels.
French drinks group Rémy Cointreau is suing Canopy Growth for alleged trademark infringement over the cannabis company’s CBD-infused sparkling water brand Quatreau.
According to a report by Thomson Reuters, the complaint filed last week in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York contends that Canopy’s line of recently launched CBD-infused sparkling drinks, which the licensed producer calls “Quatreau,” sounds too similar to “Cointreau” and, thereby, constitutes a trademark infringement.
