Law & Business Podcast Episode 36: MillerCoors sues AB InBev (Anheuser-Busch Companies, LLC) over "corn syrup" campaign

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...
