Nestlé vs Seattle Strong Coffee | Seattle News

Nestlé is escalating its legal war against Seattle Strong Coffee, now targeting both the brand name and its logo, claiming they’re too similar to Nestlé’s Seattle’s Best Coffee and could confuse customers. The small Seattle-based startup, owned by Evan Oeflein, is fighting back, arguing that big corporations shouldn’t monopolize city names for products—and says this case could reshape how small businesses brand themselves. To keep the fight alive, Seattle Strong is launching a GoFundMe to fund its defense, hoping the public will rally behind them against the global giant. Nestlé hasn’t responded to requests for comment as the battle rages on. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
