Jesus Juice Merlot Edit
TM Application Down The Drain

“If you were looking forward to soon purchasing “Jesus Juice” wine, well, you’ll have to wait a bit longer. The California couple who filed an application to trademark the term so that they could slap it on bottles of merlot have dropped their bid, according to a December 15 U.S. Patent and Trademark Office filing. While the USPTO notice, which you can find below, does not state a reason for the abandonment by Dawn Westlake and Bruce Rheins, it is likely that criticism directed at the couple played a role in their decision.” - The Smoking Gun
