Backlash against Buc-ee’s Ohio trademark suit

Buc-ee’s filed a federal trademark lawsuit against Beaver’s Mini Mart in Beavercreek, Ohio, alleging the local beaver logo closely resembles its Buc-ee’s beaver mascot and seeking a jury trial four months after opening its first Ohio store. The dispute has sparked a wide backlash with online boycotts, local officials criticizing the case, Beavercreek’s resolution recognizing the beaver as part of the city’s history, and attention from John Oliver.
