Overview

• Taylor Sheridan, the creator of the TV show 'Yellowstone', has filed a lawsuit against actor Cole Hauser, who stars in the show, over alleged trademark infringement related to their respective coffee companies.
• Sheridan's company, Bosque Ranch Craft Coffee, uses a logo with overlapping B and R letters, while Hauser's company, Free Rein Coffee Company, uses a logo with overlapping F and R letters.
• Sheridan alleges that Free Rein's logo is too similar to Bosque Ranch's logo and could potentially mislead consumers.
• The lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of Texas on Nov. 21, and Sheridan's company is seeking a jury trial, asking the court to force Free Rein to stop using its logo and to destroy any of its products that currently use it.
• Hauser promoted his coffee brand on social media just one day after the lawsuit was filed.
