Buc-ee’s sues another small business over logo after John Oliver segment

Buc-ee’s has filed another lawsuit alleging trademark infringement. This time, the defendant is a small convenience store in Ohio. The lawsuit comes days after a segment on HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, which dared Buc-ee’s to sue more small businesses over their logos. The lawsuit alleges that the convenience store’s logo infringes on Buc-ee’s trademarked beaver mascot. Buc-ee’s has a history of suing small businesses over similar claims.

The most recent lawsuit was filed in Texas, where Buc-ee’s is headquartered. The company has been criticized for targeting small businesses, with some accusing Buc-ee’s of bullying. The convenience store has not yet responded to the lawsuit. The store’s owner has not been named in coverage. The store’s logo features a beaver, similar to Buc-ee’s mascot.

The logo also includes the store’s name, which is not disclosed in coverage. The store is located in Ohio, where Buc-ee’s does not have any locations. The lawsuit was filed in federal court.
