Stash Tea sues pot business for trademark infringement
Stash Tea has begun legal proceedings against cannabis vendor Stash Cannabis for "concerted and systemic infringement of trademarks" owned by the company. Previously, Stash Tea sent multiple letters to the dispensary seeking to stop the use of the name arguing that its trademark extends to the sale of dried plants and tea. The lawsuit claims Stash Cannabis damages and dilutes the brand by misappropriating and using the likenesses of Stash Tea's trademarks in connection with the sale of marijuana and related products. Stash Tea is seeking an injunction, as well as compensation for legal costs and damages, including Stash Cannabis' profits, that may amount to $3,000 - $4,000 per day.
