We kid breweries about copyright and trademark infringement a lot in these emails, but today one organization struck back: The Tribune just reported on a lawsuit filed by the Ravinia Festival against Ravinia Brewing. Seems like an uphill battle for the festival, seeing as how there are a lot of other businesses with “Ravinia” in the name that have not also been sued, and it seems like a tough thing to protect since it’s also a geographical reference.
