Several years ago I was given several bottles of Duckhorn wine ... wasn’t impressed.

This sounds like a legal team on autopilot here. Well there are some shot guns aimed at them they can’t fend off this time.

Seems everybody is out to make a buck on the back of the Duck Dynasty franchise now that it is popular.

This is one of the more pathetic ones. Anything generically redneck would be a good seller on the back of this craze.

By carefully examining the images of ducks on the two bottles shown in the article, It appears that Duck Commander is coming in for a perfect landing, and Duckhorn is barely swimming, or maybe Duckhorn is just a sitting duck ?

I’m confident that the Duck Commander trademark will prevail.

Agreed, this is a rather pathetic action on the part of a winemaker in need a PR team with a functioning brain cell.

Reminds me of when Spike Lee tried to sue Spike TV. Like Spike Lee was the only Spike that ever was.

Duckhorn’s trying to buy some brand loyalty among the sodomite community.
To: Army Air Corps
Like if Duckhorn came up with a variety they called Duckhorn Redneck.

The suit is without merit. No one would confuse Duckhorn wine with a Duck Dynasty product.
To: rey
I wish them a lot of duck.

A few years ago Starbuck’s - claiming a copyright violation - sued a tiny Greek Orthodox monastery for selling a “Christmas blend” coffee. Yes, Starbucks actually thought “Christmas blend” was something they could have proprietary rights to. They lost, and looked like silly, small-minded men in the process.

Wonder if someone dropped some cash on Duckhorn Wine Company to start this crap?
Could be an interesting follow the money story.......Just saying.

No, you can’t copyright a duck... but you could trademark a specific duck.
Daffy Duck, Donald Duck, Oregon Ducks, Duck Commander.
I can understand Duckhorn’s worry about being overshadowed by a more famous and popular Duck, but they can’t own the exclusive use of the word.
