According to The Cannabist, the Ohio-based Gorilla Glue Co. has filed a federal trademark infringement lawsuit against GG Strains, claiming that the legal weed purveyors are “unlawfully advertising and selling products and services under a confusingly similar name to Gorilla Glue's trademarks, in violation and dilution of Gorilla Glue's trademark rights.”
What started as an illicit drug named after the strain’s tendency to leave glue-like resin covering user's hands, has now become a legal product sold in state-approved stores across the country. And while the adhesive company has already offered to settle the claim out of court, with growers all over the nation planting GG Strains’ genetics and selling it under the Gorilla Glue moniker, the Nevada-based company is worried that caving on this lawsuit could spell trouble for weed businesses outside their purview.
