(Denver, CO) – Denver Westword reported on a trademark dispute this week between Elevation Beer Co. and Renegade Brewing Company. On Friday, Elevation released a statement on the matter. See below…
—
The Elevation Beer Company® team was saddened to see Renegade Brewing Company handling a private trademark dispute in public, again.
We filed our trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on July 14, 2011. Like all trademark owners, the registration of our trademark obligates us to defend this mark by law. To this date, we have not filed a complaint with the USPTO, or in any court, for Renegade’s use of the ‘Elevation’ mark. Elevation Beer Company made numerous attempts to resolve this issue between both parties, with no lawyers involved.
Elevation Beer Company is committed to keeping this matter professional and private; we will continue to focus on our team, the community, and producing quality beer.
This will be our only public statement on this matter.

This is getting a little out of hand, but in Renegade’s case, they lost Ryeteous IPA and they’ll lose this one. It’s just poor trademark research done on Renegade’s part and instead of calling this R3 Redacted Again Triple IPA, they should just change it outright.
