The maker of Stanley cups is being sued for trademark infringement. But NOT by the NHL for their Stanley Cup championship trophy.
The hardware company Stanley Black & Decker is suing the maker of Stanley drinkware over its use of the name.
If you’re wondering why it’s happening NOW . . . more than a year after Stanley tumblers were all the rage . . . it’s because they apparently went too far, and gave “Stanley” a BAD name.
In a lawsuit filed this week, Stanley Black & Decker says the makers of Stanley drinkware violated an agreement from 2012 about when and how it could use the name . . .
And when millions of the mugs were recalled last year, the use of the name Stanley made it seem like the defective products came from Stanley Black & Decker. It’s unclear how much they’re seeking in damages.
