In our trademark dispute with a French Champagne company we’ve won the first round, with the judge saying: “the opposition has failed in its entirety”. And we got awarded costs. But sadly this is not yet the end, as they may well appeal, and the disput… [...]

No. I-1183 prevents neighborhood wine and beer shops from carrying liquor. Initiative 1183 specific … [...]
