Colorado Music-Related Business|

My luck with Trademarks is the WORST. My TM for ‘Super Sonic Spreads’ got approved by the USPTO. They told me I could start using the TM symbol months ago. They made it public as they always do and now Sonic Drive-In sent me a cease and desist because they filed for an extension behind the scenes. Apparently, me using the word “Sonic” is a threat to their multi billion dollar conglomerate of a business. What a joke! Their letter states that, because they sell condiments, it would cause consumer confusion. My little artisan jam business can be confused with Sonic Drive In?? Puh-lease!!

BTW, they sell condiments only if you ask for extra and charge you 27c for a packet of ketchup, or BBQ sauce, or whatever.

This is the second time I’ve been through this, as many of you know… ‘That’s My Jam’ had it’s own trademark issues and I had to start from scratch with SSS. I don’t have deep pockets to fight this company. I am so ready to just fold. I feel so defeated by big companies, I could cry. I have 2 weeks to decide what to do.

#boycottSonic if you support small business
