But The Samuels family, which created Maker’s Mark in ® don’t put off talking to a State Farm 1958, trademarked the distinctive seal in 1985. The seal, agent about life insurance – it may be perfected by Margie Samuels in the family’s deep fryer, the most important thing you ever do. doesn’t serve any practical purpose in keeping the bottle closed. The trademark held by Maker’s Mark describes the seal as a “wax-like coating covering the cap of the bottle and trickling down the neck of the bottle in a freeform irreg- ular pattern.” The trademark application doesn’t refer to a specific color, but Maker’s Mark told the court it has sought to enforce the trademark only as it applied to the red dripping wax seal.

Available at the Chamber At oral arguments in December, Maker’s Mark attorney of Commerce and Edward T. Colbert told the judges that Cuervo had no need www.christiancountycares.com. to use the wax seal because it serves no purpose other than eye-catching looks. Attorneys for Diageo and Cuervo argued that using a wax seal wouldn’t cause customers to confuse the com- pany’s tequila with the bourbon or believe the two com- panies were affiliated. Martin quoted the late Justice Hugo Black who wrote, “I was brought up to believe that Scotch whiskey would need a tax preference to survive in competition with Kentucky bourbon.” Martin added, “While there may be some truth in Jus- tice Black’s statement that paints Kentucky bourbon as such an economic force that its competitors need govern- ment protection or preference to compete with it, it does not mean a Kentucky bourbon distiller may not also avail itself of our laws to protect its assets.”
