Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey has sued US-based distiller Popcorn Sutton, the manufacturer of Popcorn Sutton Moonshine, over a trademark infringement.
Jack Daniel's has filed a lawsuit claiming that Popcorn Sutton has used the shape of the Jack Daniel's square bottle as well as a similar black-and-white label for bottles of its moonshine whiskey.
The lawsuit states, "This is an action to redress defendants' infringement" of Jack Daniel's "federally- registered trademarks."
Popcorn Sutton moonshine was originally sold in Mason jars. In 2012, the maker of the product shifted to the new design that is claimed to be similar to packaging of Jack Daniel's.
The suit filed in the US District Court in Nashville wants Popcorn Sutton's bottle to be removed from shelves.
