EB%20Foote%20-%20Foote%20Printe%20Logos.jpg

On Feb. 8, the owners of Washington’s E.B. Foote Winery filed suit in the Western District against the owners of southern California’s Foote Printe Winery. Plaintiffs allege that defendants’ use of FOOTE PRINT WINERY and Design infringe plaintiffs’ registered trademarks, E.B. FOOTE and E.B. FOOTE WINERY and Design, which plaintiffs and their predecessors claim to have used since 1978.

Defendants have not yet answered plaintiffs’ complaint. The fact that their surname is Foote would seem to help their cause.

The case cite is Miller v. Foote, No. 08-00215 (W.D. Wash.).
