Taylor Sheridan alleges that Cole Hauser's Free Rein Coffee Company's logo is too similar to his own Bosque Ranch Craft Coffee's logo, potentially misleading consumers.
- 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.
