Jack Daniel's Properties Inc v. Jack & Juice Inc - Trademark Opposition

Jack Daniel's Properties, Inc. initiated a trademark opposition proceeding against Jack & Juice Inc.'s JACK & JUICE mark before the USPTO Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The opposition was filed on April 10, 2026, and has been assigned case number TTAB91306509. This administrative action challenges the registrability of the defendant's trademark based on alleged likelihood of confusion with the plaintiff's established JACK DANIELS word mark and associated trade dress.

Trademark applicants with marks that may be perceived as similar to famous brands should monitor this proceeding for precedent. Parties facing or anticipating opposition proceedings at the TTAB should ensure their applications are supported by adequate evidence demonstrating distinctiveness and lack of consumer confusion. Registration of marks that closely resemble well-known trademarks carries significant risk of opposition or cancellation.
