Molson, San Miguel duel over Red Horse trademark
The applicant, San Miguel Brewing, applied to register the trade-mark RED HORSE in association with certain beers. They were opposed by Molsons who owned the trade-mark BLACK HORSE. The Court began its decision with the following quip: “The potential for the use of phrases such as “this is a horse of a different colour” or equine and beer jokes jump out at one. The Court will refrain from such frivolities for this is a case about beer and a case of beer is a serious matter.”
