Following a nearly three-week trial, lawyers sum up their evidence in long-running legal battle.
Since Keystone Light launched its “Own the Stone” rebranding campaign in 2017, San Diego’s Stone Brewing’s says its sales have declined nearly 20 percent off its peak.
Lawyers for Stone Brewing and Molson Coors argued those points Wednesday as they made their final pitches to an eight-person jury in the trademark infringement case in San Diego federal court.Millions are at stake as the jury began deliberations after a three-week trial that a U.S. District judge in San Diego called “one of the most contentious cases I’ve ever experienced, and I have had trademark/trade name cases before,” according to court records before the trial began.
Those cans and boxes de-emphasized “Key” and enlarged “Stone,” separating the combined words for the first time in Keystone’s 35-year history, according to Stone Brewing. In contrast, lawyers for Molson Coors argued that Stone Brewing failed to clear a key legal hurdle needed to prove its case — that the Own the Stone rebranding of Keystone created confusion in the marketplace.
