The rock band Guns N’ Roses is accusing a Colorado brewery of piggybacking off their fame to sell beer and merchandise.
The band filed a trademark infringement lawsuit Thursday against Colorado-based Oskar Blues Brewery, which sells Guns `N’ Rose beer and merchandise and bandannas the group says are associated with singer Axl Rose.
The complaint says Oskar Blues applied to trademark Guns `N’ Rose last year and abandoned the effort after the band objected.
The lawsuit says the brewery is still selling the beer and the merchandise.
The band wants a court order blocking the brewery from misappropriating its name, destroying the products and turning over profits from Guns `N’ Rose and other monetary awards.
Oskar Blues marketing director Kyle Ingram did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.
