Trademark Disputes In Craft Beer Industry Illustrated By 'Black Ops' Case
New York Law Journal (June 16, 2016)

A suit between an established New York craft brewer and a California start-up brewer over the use of the mark "Black Ops" illustrates the types of arguments that are often raised in such disputes, and the ability of a trademark owner to enjoin the use of a confusingly similar mark even when the infringing mark is used on the other side of the country.
