Source excerpt
McCormick and Co., owners of the Old Bay Seasoning brand, has settled a federal lawsuit against another spice company called Primal Palate, who sells a seasoning blend called New Bae.
The lawsuit was dismissed on Tuesday (January 21) by a federal judge after both companies told the court that a private settlement agreement had been reached.
McCormick filed the lawsuit in 2018, claiming "New Bae was intended to create a wrongful association with Old Bay and to diminish its reputation."
