Starbucks’ ‘Christmas Blend’: Why It’s Now Public Domain

Is anyone entitled to the phrase ‘Christmas Blend’ as a trade mark? 🎄❓ The answer is no! ❌

Although the name may be associated with the festive blend of coffee beans produced by Starbucks since 1985, Starbucks has encountered problems when enforcing its rights to the phrase ‘Christmas Blend’. ☕️🎅

Starbucks has even taken legal action to protect its rights to the name against East Coast coffee companies and even Vashon Island monastery, but this has been met with public objection. ⚖️📣

As a result, the expression ‘Christmas Blend’ has been brought into the public domain, allowing the free use of this term. 🌐✨ And what is your favourite Christmas Blend? 🎄☕️
