Chobani's Legal Defense: Chobani is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit from Danone, which accuses it of trademark infringement over the "Bright & Mellow" slogan and packaging for its La Colombe coffee, arguing that the terms are generic and descriptive.
Background of the Dispute: This lawsuit marks the third legal conflict between Danone and Chobani in the past decade, with Chobani having acquired La Colombe for $900 million in December 2023.
