Law & Business - the podcast about legal issues and how they affect your business.
In Episode 36 of the "Law & Business" Podcast, Anthony and producer Marc Sterne talk about the MillerCoors lawsuit against AB InBev over its "corn syrup" campaign, which started during the Super Bowl. This episode (minisode? miniwebisode?) was recorded at Chatter in Washington, D.C. Thank you, Marc for recording and helping with all the episodes at Chatter. MillerCoors is suing Anheuser Busch InBev, seeking injunctive and other relief for what it calls "a false and misleading advertising campaign targeting Miller Lite and Coors Light." It's the latest step in a brewing marketing feud that began during the Super Bowl. Bud Light, in three spots that aired during the game, attacked MillerCoors' Coors Light and Miller Lite brands by name, noting that those brews use corn syrup. MillerCoors, in its complaint filed in federal court in Wisconsin, said the ads are meant to deceive beer drinkers into thinking its beers contain corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup in order to boost sales of Bud Light. Plus, it says the ads dilute its trademarks, which would be in violation of the Lanham Act. MillerCoors seeks a halt to the "false and misleading" ad claims and "willful trademark dilution," saying that the ads have diluted the goodwill associated with its brands and have damaged the reputation of the brands. Anthony and Marc discuss the complaint, the false advertising claims, the possible harms to the MillerCoors trademark, and defenses for AB. "AB's purported rationale for this campaign, 'transparency,' is a classic example of corporate double-speak," says AB's complaint. A predicted defense for AB is going be the plain meaning of the words in the advertisement. AB is saying that its Bud Light is not brewed with corn syrup and that MillerCoors' Coors Light is. Predictably, AB will just stick with the plain meaning of those words and that consumers should only hear the words in their denotations, and not their connotations, which is what MillerCoors' lawsuit focuses on. Smaller businesses need to understand that advertising and the use of a competitor's trademark do come with risk. Managing the risk is necessary and understanding the limits of what is not a deceptive and not a misleading ad are necessary also. Here is a lightly-edited transcript of the podcast episode: Anthony Verna: Welcome to this mini episode of the Law and Business podcast. We're still recording from Chatter in DC. How you doing, Marc? Marc Sterne: I'm doing great. Technically, is this not a mini webisode? Anthony Verna: Oh, I see. Okay. Marc Sterne: I'm just trying to stay hip man. Anthony Verna: I know, I know. Marc, thank you for recording with us. And I know we've got a question from the audience. Marc Sterne: Yes, we do have a question regarding the lawsuit involving Budweiser, Miller Coors and corn syrup. Anthony Verna: Let's talk about this particular suit for a second because it's Miller Coors versus Anheuser Busch filed in federal court in Wisconsin and yes, it's about the no corn syrup ads. So, went from dilly dilly and do you have an impression of that one? Marc Sterne: I don't have it. I do like the ads. I don't have an impression for the dilly dilly. I hated them to start. And then they grew on me and I was like… Anthony Verna: No, I could easily see that because it's a very, it's a well-crafted campaign that, of course, has now mutated into a second campaign. And Anheuser Busch even did some really fun things with that ad campaign. Like when there was a trademark infringer on a dilly dilly, Anheuser Busch actually sent a guy in a knight's outfit and he even opened a scroll and he read aloud the cease and desist letter. Marc Sterne: And that's how you deal with issues. Anthony Verna: It was absolutely fantastic. And that turned into a viral video, so you could even find that online, but it's now mutated from this dilly dilly, but keeping the same characters and it started during th...

There’s no better place for our resident pair of degenerates to record their latest show than the racetrack. Bram Weinstein and Marc Sterne posted up at Laurel Park for Maryland Millions Day, and turned it into a family affair by taking wild race predictions from a nearby pair of mother-daughter prognosticators. The guys also dice up the Philadelphia 76ers absurd shoot-the-moon draft strategy and muse on the possibility that Back to the Future 2 actually foretold the Chicago Cubs playoff run.

On Monday, Bram Weinstein and Marc Sterne opined about the fate of Steve Sarkisian, whose drinking problem had become a very public spectacle at USC. Twenty-four hours later, Athletic Director Pat Haden dismissed his head coach, prompting Bram to deliver updated thoughts on what will happen now, as the media’s inevitable spasms of assumption and tabloid journalism take hold. Then, Bram and Marc welcome TNT’s David Aldridge to recall the Gilbert Arenas era in Washington and the infamous guns-in-the-locker-room incident that came awfully close to a real tragedy. Also up for discussion, Mike Francesca shaming an emotional Mets fan, and the absurd bust-up between Matt Barnes, small forward for the Memphis Grizzlies & Derek Fisher, coach of the LA Lakers.

As women are wrongly barred from NFL locker rooms, unfairly ridiculed for taking selfies at baseball games, and sexually harassed by their college coaches, they have found a new champion: Bram Weinstein. Then again, cheering on the female gender is nothing new for our host, who recounts the story of his college transformation into the official “Chi guy” - a mascot of sorts - for Alpha Chi Omega, the very same sorority being lambasted for their “anti-social” behavior at the Diamondbacks game. Speaking of mascots, Bram & Marc Sterne discuss the plight of Ragnar, the beloved Minnesota Vikings mascot with Minneapolis Star-Tribune reporter Michael Rand, and the guys also review the foolishness of a certain priest’s violent NFL fanaticism.

Little did Jonathan Papelbon know when he began this season that he would end it as a Washington National, not to mention that he would choke their season away. Even less foreseeable is that the choke would be a literal one, with Papelbon’s hand somehow ending up around the neck of golden boy Bryce Harper. Bram Weinstein & Marc Sterne muse on the unfortunate trend of the Nats adopting the inept characteristics of their crosstown football cousins. Bram records from his basement in Connecticut, and speaks candidly about the sad state of DC sports and its role in his decision to “turn the page” on a career move back to his hometown…for now. Then, the definitive debate on Pete Rose with SI’s Kostya Kennedy, author of “Pete Rose: An American Dilemma” in which we discuss whether or not Charlie Hustle finally deserves a shot at a Cooperstown ballot. Spoiler alert: He does. And finally… deviant, unsavory things we find compelling on the internet.

Upon learning that beloved Red Sox announcer Don Orsillo would not be re-signed, our host Bram Weinstein spun into a self-described career crisis. “Do sportscasters matter anymore? Do we exist? I don’t know, I’m sitting my basement!” Our resident Red Sox fanatic Marc Sterne chimes in and then gets Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald on the phone for a deep dive on the entire Orsillo/NESN debacle. Then, Bram and Marc get into the cops trolling a crazy Alabama fan, and finally, they muse about Chip Kelly restoring swagger at “The U.” Drake is invoked. Let us know what you think of the show.
