Texan chain Buc-ee's sues small gas station Barc-ee's, over similar name and logo
Briefly

Buc-ee's, the popular Texan convenience store chain, is suing Barc-ee's for trademark infringement, alleging that Barc-ee's logo and branding closely resemble its own. Buc-ee's argues that the similarities could confuse customers and unfairly benefit Barc-ee's. In its court filing, Buc-ee's highlights similarities in mascot designs, color schemes, and branding styles. Buc-ee's general counsel emphasized the company's commitment to protecting its distinctive brand identity and investments in quality products and customer experience, asserting that they will actively contest perceived infringements.
Buc-ee's claims that the unauthorised use of its trademark will benefit Barc-ee's at its expense, and could... cause customers to mistakenly assume they are the same business.
