Wake-up Call for Start-Up Craft Beverage Producers

          As a start-up craft beverage producer, you have been operating on a shoe-string budget while expanding your product distribution footprint. You should have run trademark clearance searches before using your brand and product names, but budgets were strained. Luckily, you’ve flown under the radar screen of potential competitors. Now that you’ve realized some success and are ready to distribute outside your local market or state, you are more likely to be noticed. Time to do a search and identify any potential risks lurking around the corner.
