Sam Heughan’s Sassenach whisky brand loses the final legal fight in a trademark dispute in the European Union 🇪🇺

Sam Heughan launched his whisky brand "The Sassenach" in 2020, nickname his character uses for his on-screen love interest in the time travel drama "Outlander". Since 2021, Heughan has been embroiled in a legal battle with "Sasse" a German distillery over the name of his whisky brand, arguing that the Sassenach whisky would confuse customers who might think he is linked to them.

The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), which resolves trademark disputes, ruled in favour of the German company and issued a decision upholding the opposition saying The Sassenach could not use the name as a whisky brand. After losing the initial decision at the Fifth Board of Appeals in 2021, Heughan's legal team appealed in 2022 to overturn the decision.

His legal team said there was no risk of confusion as Outlander was popular in Germany. Lawyers for the Sasse distillery, however, said: "The television series may be as popular as the other side claims, which we deny, nonetheless it is not sufficient to assume that the average consumer knows the meaning of that term. Both parties in litigation were given time to present evidence and arguments in their defence and after the Examination period, the Opposition Division’s decision was taken this year 2023.

Great Glen Company or its representative never commented on the EU decisions until last October, in New York when Sam Heughan was asked about Sassenach whisky situation in the European Union in a chat with Mark Gillespie at the Whisky Cast podcast and Heughan's response was very limited, deflecting the question talking about the name in dispute but not the EUIPO's decision, regarding Sassenach whisky that was supposedly aware of the official communication from the European Union Intellectual Property Office - Opposition Division- sent to Great Glen Company in July 2023, which considered that the disputed trademark 'The Sassenach' must be rejected for all the contested goods.

It's a bit curious that after the EUIPO decision, Sam Heughan appeared on a surprise visit to New Orleans, which included podcasts, and events with @sgwinespirits on Tales of the cocktail with an unscheduled tasting of his drinks at the Ritz-Carlton in Nola. Later on, he began his Sassenach sales tour around the United States last summer. If these people had known what had happened with his Sassenach brand in the EU would be different?

In addition, Great Glen Company (GGC) applied to register a new trademark with the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and the EU, following the EUIPO decision, following its earlier idea to build on all the Outlander ideas, the new trademark is called "LALLYBROCH SPIRITS" (Lallybroch means "lazy tower" in Gaelic). It will not use Midhope/Lallybroch as a distillery. This new trademark has nothing to do with or relate to the grounds of Midhope Castle, the site of a new whisky distillery with a different brand and ownership. Its new application is already registered in the United States.

It's pending resolution in the EU, Canada and the United Kingdom where Heughan requested its registration.

THE SASSENACH UNIQUE SPIRITS

The Great Glen Company, Sam Heughan’s firm, applied to register the brand name Scotch whisky THE SASSENACH UNIQUE SPIRITS as a future trademark to sell the whisky across Europe, but Theo Sasse e.K brand distillery in Schöppingen-Germany, objected claiming the name was too close to its trademarked name, which it uses to sell whiskies and brandies spirits.

On 20th July 2023 the Opposition Division takes the following:

DECISION

1. Opposition is upheld for all the contested goods.

2. International registration is entirely refused protection in respect of the European Union.

REASONS

On 24th November 2021 the opponent Theo Sasse e.K filed an opposition against all the goods (Class 33) of international registration designating the European Union. The opposition is based on, inter alia, German trademark registration ‘Sasse’ (word mark). Also, the opponent invoked Article 8(1)(b) EUTMR and Article 8(4) EUTMR.

LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION — ARTICLE 8(1)(b) EUTMR

A likelihood of confusion exists if there is a risk that the public might believe that the goods or services in question, under the assumption that they bear the marks in question, come from the same undertaking or, as the case may be, from economically linked undertakings.

The opposition is based on more than one earlier trade mark. The Opposition Division finds it appropriate to first examine the opposition in relation to the opponent’s German trade mark registration.

a) The goods

The goods on which the opposition is based are, inter alia, the following:

Class 33: Alcoholic beverages, excluding beers. Alcoholic beverages, except beer are identically contained in both lists of goods (including synonyms).

b) Relevant public — degree of attention

The average consumer of the category of products concerned is deemed to be reasonably well informed and reasonably observant and circumspect. It should also be borne in mind that the average consumer’s degree of attention is likely to vary according to the category of goods or services in question. In the present case, the goods found to be identical are directed at the public at large.

c) The signs

The relevant territory is Germany.

Contested sign The global appreciation of the visual, aural or conceptual similarity of the marks in question must be based on the overall impression given by the marks, bearing in mind, in particular, their distinctive and dominant components. The earlier mark is the word mark ‘Sasse’. The protection of a word mark concerns the word as such and not the specific graphic or stylistic elements accompanying that mark.

The verbal element ‘SASSENACH’ of the contested mark has, contrary to the allegations of the holder, no meaning for the relevant public and is, therefore, distinctive. Likewise, the unicorn device of the contested sign has no particular meaning in relation to the goods and is distinctive.

THE SASSENACH’ in the contested sign are the dominant elements as they are the most eye-catching.

Visually, the signs coincide in ‘SASSE’, which represents the entire earlier mark. The signs differ in the representation of a unicorn and the additional letters ‘-NACH’ (after SASSE) and the non-distinctive elements ‘The’ as well as ‘UNIQUE SPIRITS’ in the contested mark. Thus, the single word element of the earlier mark is fully contained in the most distinctive verbal element of the contested mark. That fact alone is a clear indication of a visual similarity. Therefore, the signs are similar to a below-average degree.

Aurally, the signs coincide in the syllables ‘Sas-se’, which is the sole and distinctive element of the earlier mark and the beginning of the most important verbal element of the contested sign, ‘Sas-se-nach’. The signs differ in the last letters of this word (one syllable), ‘nach’, and in the first verbal element of the contested sign, ‘The’. The fact remains that the earlier mark is entirely included at the beginning of the most important verbal element of the contested sign.

Conceptually, the signs will always be dissimilar as the contested mark will be understood with at least one meaning, namely the unicorn in the contested mark. As the signs have been found similar in at least one aspect of the comparison, the examination of likelihood of confusion will proceed.

d) Distinctiveness of the earlier mark The distinctiveness of the earlier mark is one of the factors to be taken into account in the global assessment of likelihood of confusion. In the present case, the earlier trade mark as a whole has no meaning for any of the goods in question from the perspective of the public in the relevant territory. Therefore, the distinctiveness of the earlier mark must be seen as normal.

e) Global assessment, other arguments and conclusion The goods at issue are identical. They target the general public, who possesses an average degree of attention. The earlier mark has a normal degree of distinctiveness. The signs are visually similar to a below average degree and aurally similar to an average degree since the sole and distinctive element of the earlier mark, ‘Sasse’, is entirely reproduced at the beginning of the contested sign’s only fully distinctive verbal element, ‘Sassenach’. Evaluating the likelihood of confusion implies some interdependence between the relevant factors and, in particular, a similarity between the marks and between the goods or services.

Considering all the above, especially taking into account that the earlier mark is entirely reproduced in the contested sign and used for goods that are identical, the Opposition Division finds that there is a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public. Therefore, the opposition is well founded on the basis of the opponent’s German trade mark registration It follows that the contested trade mark must be rejected for all the contested goods. As the earlier right German trade mark registration leads to the success of the opposition and to the rejection of the contested trade mark The Sassenach for all the goods against which the opposition was directed.

The trademark status was "totally refused", meaning that THE SASSENACH UNIQUE SPIRITS trademark cannot be registered in the EU. If SH's trade mark application is refused, he can file an appeal. He must file his notice of appeal within 2 months from the date of the refusal decision (August-September) and the grounds of appeal must be filed within 4 months from the same date of notification (October-November). But, He did not appeal and last November the EUIPO confirmed by letter the provisional refusal of his trademark and refused its protection in the European Union. The final decision was published on 14 December 2023.

Conclusion

The EUIPO’s decision of the Board of Appeals, regarding its whisky has a “displacement” because Sassenach whisky cannot be registered as a trademark in the EU, the Sassenach trademark was refused. SH must be aware the significance of the total refusal decision regarding its whisky brand. If he was planning to recover from a legal dispute by putting his gin on an impromptu Sassenach tour around US last summer, proving that his recent EU legal battle was a mere bump in the road, he should have thought twice. He lost a legal battle to register his Sassenach whisky brand as a European Community trademark ® in 27 states. It is a big difference. It seems that if Heughan wants to continue selling its whisky, it will have to change the name.

Required Summer Reading From The IRS: Transfer And Elective Payment Tax Rules

Portrait of a young brunette relaxing on the beach, reading a book

getty

Treasury and the IRS promised to release guidance on direct pay and transferability “before summer,” and with proposed regs (REG-101610-23) issued June 14, they met their deadline admirably. Announcing a precise time frame for when proposed rules will be released is less important than their substance, but it’s still a practice that the IRS and Treasury should continue.

It’s painful to hear government officials intone the refrain that “guidance should be coming soon.” Let’s have more dates to put on the calendar.

Clarification of the rules under sections 6417 and 6418 is what taxpayers wanted in the proposed regulations, and that’s what they deliver — for the most part. They are less generous than some commentators had hoped. The market for credit transfers will be less expansive than it might have been had the passive activity rules been swept away.

At least for now, the proposed regulations don’t allow an applicable entity to purchase a credit and then seek an elective payment for the credit, although the preamble indicates that the IRS and Treasury will entertain possible exceptions. The registration process still has large open questions, but the transferee gross income exclusion is a welcome clarification for potential buyers.

The proposed regulations add necessary details to the new regime and include policy decisions. The elective payment rules appear to be intended to enable the use of elective payment, said Adam Cohen of Holland & Hart. Cohen pointed out that instrumentalities and agencies of state and local governments, as well as U.S. territories, are included within the definition of applicable entities in the proposed section 6417 rules.

The exclusion of partnerships seems incongruous, but the complexity of applying sections 6417 and 6418 may explain it. “From a tax logic perspective, they found the right balance, particularly in the section 6418 regulations,” said Chaim Stern of Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP.

MORE FROMFORBES ADVISOR

Combining Transfers and Elective Payment?

The answer to whether an applicable entity could purchase credits under section 6418(a) and make an elective payment election is proposed to be no – but not a completely firm no. The preamble to the section 6417 rules says that its conclusion that “sections 6417 and 6418 are best interpreted to not allow an applicable entity under section 6417 to make an elective payment election for a transferred credit under section 6418” was informed by administrative and practical reasons given by commentators.

The preamble also connects its conclusion to the text of section 6417(a). Treasury and the IRS explained that they believe that transferred credits are not “determined with respect to” an applicable entity, as required by section 6417(a).

That is because the credit is not determined with respect to underlying applicable credit property owned by the applicable entity or electing taxpayer, or activities otherwise conducted by the entity or taxpayer under section 6417(a).

And the proposed section 6418 regulations say that transferees are not considered to have owned an interest in the underlying credit property or to have otherwise conducted any of the activities that give rise to the credit. That isn’t a statutory reason to disallow chaining, but doing so maintains consistency between the two sets of proposed regs.

The preamble invites comments on possible exceptions to the proposed bar on chaining, indicating a surprising flexibility that is tempered by the specificity that’s also requested. Suggested limitations to any exceptions include the type of applicable entity that may be allowed to make a direct payment election for credits transferred to it — government entities are offered as an example — and the transferee taxpayer’s involvement in the project’s development.

The other possible considerations are more difficult to distinguish from other types of transfers. They include the transferee’s due diligence, the fact that the transferee pays close to the face value of the credit, and the lack of other special financial arrangements between the parties. Transferees of all types should be expected to do due diligence, and they’ll likely all pay about 93% to 98% of the credit.

The outlined considerations suggest that Treasury and the IRS might provide exceptions if they are satisfied that they won’t be opening the transfer and elective payment regimes up for fraud or abuse. Commentators will almost certainly advocate for exceptions.

Registration

In order to claim the benefits provided by section 6417 or 6418, taxpayers must complete prefiling registration requirements in accordance with temp. reg. sections 1.6417-5T or 1.6418-4T. The online registration portal isn’t ready yet, but the preamble to the temporary regs says its opening deadline of fall 2023 is one justification for putting out temporary regs instead of proposed rules.

Transferees and elective payment claimants will need to reference their registration number when claiming their credits, which raises the question of how long it will take the IRS to review pre-registrations. The FAQs warn taxpayers to leave enough time to obtain a registration number, Cohen noted, but it isn’t clear what that means. It may depend on the depth of the IRS’s review, another open question.

Seth Feuerstein of Atheva, a marketplace for IRA credits, said it would be helpful if the IRS offered the timeline it expects to follow for assigning registration numbers to taxpayers. “It could create a problem if the IRS says they’re not able to review a pre-registration in time and the transferee can’t take the credit,” he noted.

It also isn’t clear whether the review will be substantive or focused on limited items intended to prevent fraud. Feuerstein said it should be the latter. “It’s not clear why a substantive review of a transferred credit would be more critical than a substantive position any taxpayer is taking,” he said.

Under the temporary regs, taxpayers will register eligible credit property and the registration number will apply to all the credits associated with that property. For production tax credits, that might lead to some tracking and accounting challenges.

Because the registration number will refer to the underlying property rather than the unit of production, if a taxpayer sells production tax credits from a single facility to multiple buyers, those amounts will all have to be added up and accounted for under a single registration number.

Stern said a better idea would be to register each unit of production as it is produced. “If a solar facility that is producing electricity has a single registration number for its production and sales to various buyers over the course of a number of years, it becomes very hard to track the total credit amount,” he said.

That increases the risk of double counting. A separate registration number for each unit would make the tracking simpler for taxpayers and the IRS.

Gross Income Exclusion

The proposed section 6418 regulations give many commentators what they sought regarding how to treat the difference between the amount a buyer pays for a credit and the amount of the credit that the buyer claims. Affirming what some congressional staffers indicated, that amount is excluded from taxable income under the proposed regs.

The rationale for the transferee gross income exclusion is that under section 6418(a), the transferee is treated as the taxpayer for purposes of title 26 concerning a transferred eligible credit. The preamble explains that an eligible taxpayer wouldn’t have gross income from claiming the credit, and the transferee shouldn’t either.

But the statute doesn’t say that the transferee is treated as the eligible taxpayer, merely that the transferee is treated “as the taxpayer.” That language is how the transferee gains the ability to apply the credit to its own tax liability, but it doesn’t expressly address the transfer’s tax effects, or lack thereof, on the transferee. It only describes the treatment of the transferee after the transfer.

Congress should have more clearly excluded the delta of the purchase price of the credit and the claimed amount of the credit from the buyer’s gross income. A technical correction was never very likely, and it won’t happen now in light of the proposed regulations.

The practical effect of including the difference in gross income would be that transferees would pay less for credits to account for the tax they owe. Notably, in 2011, the IRS’s conclusion concerning transferable state credits contradicted the rule prescribed in the proposed regulations (CCA 201147024).

Monte A. Jackel of Jackel Tax Law said that the proposed exclusion is solely a creature of the proposed regulations, not the statute, since section 6418(b) is silent on the treatment of the transferee’s income, if any, because of the discount — section 6418(b)(3) says only that the consideration the transferee pays is not deductible.

About me

 Hello, my name is Tyler Ellis. I am a betting enthusiast and love sports. I've had many questions what to look for in a reliable office for betting on sports, how to win the bet, and how do you withdraw your winnings, and many other issues. Here are seven basic criteria that are important when choosing a bookmaker, and a complete list of the best bookmakers for 2022 is available at best online bookmakers.

 If you are looking for the best bookmaker for betting it is essential to determine the legal status of betting in your nation. It is preferential to choose legally licensed bookmakers that operate within the local legislation.

 There are risks to betting on bookmakers that are offshore. The reliability of offshore bookmakers is not affected since they're usually in business for longer time periods as UK legally licensed bookmakers. The risks stem from the legal requirements.

 As online betting becomes more commonplace, the number of casinos that are based in the land is declining every year. Additionally, in addition to betting from the PC, it's possible to bet from the mobile phone. You may also bet using a smartphone or tablet through downloading a mobile app or the mobile-friendly site.

 A phone-based betting option is more convenient, since smartphones are always row-based, unlike a computer or laptop. When you are choosing mobile betting options be sure to look at the functionality of the app as well as the website.

 Withdrawal of earnings is an issue that should be considered in depth. It is not enough just to pick a bookmaker's address and research the possibilities for making a deposit and withdrawal of funds. Legal and offshore bookmakers allow withdrawals using e-wallets, credit card mobile phone, accounts with banks.

 When selecting a bookmaker, look at the possibility of commission and the conditions for transfer of money from the game to the current account.

 Bookmaker's offices have a bonus policy that aims at attracting new customers as well as to encourage existing customers.

 Bonuses allow being rewarded for registration, the installation of an application, as well as the first bet. You should always read the conditions and terms of each bonus as they may have wagering requirements. Don't forget that bonus money cannot be withdrawn from the account, they are available only to be used for wagering, however the winnings on them can already be taken out.

 Pick a bookmaker firm for sports betting with a wide range of aspects. But the reliability of the bookmaker's rating are the main factors to consider.
