Bullards gin is threatened with legal action by Red Bull in trademark dispute
Bullards, a small UK distiller established in 1837, recently applied to trademark its name with the UK Intellectual Property Office. However, Red Bull's lawyers have objected to the application on the basis that the trademark contained the word "Bull", and demanded that Bullards removed deleted a series of goods and services from its application, including energy drinks, events and non-alcoholic beverages. Bullards say the objection is "ludicrous".
