Investigation Could Block Imported Electrolyte Drinks
If you sell or buy electrolyte drinks, a complaint filed on December 27, 2024 (supplemented January 15, 2025) asks the U.S. International Trade Commission to stop certain imported electrolyte beverages from entering or being sold in the United States. The complainants allege trademark infringement of U.S. Trademark Registration Nos. 4,222,726; 4,833,885; 4,717,350; and 4,717,232 and ask for a general or limited exclusion order and cease-and-desist orders, which could change what drinks appear on store shelves and affect businesses that make, import, or sell these beverages.
