Heavy Seas Beer in Baltimore, Maryland and Loose Cannon Brewery in Abingdon, United Kingdom have established a trademark agreement over the potential confusion between the two brands.

Heavy Seas Beer has plans to release its beers in the UK and EU, which could potentially cause confusion with one of its top-selling brands Loose Cannon IPA sporting a similar moniker to Loose Cannon Brewery's name.

According to a press release from Heavy Seas, "the Trademark ownership and use issue has now been fully resolved with Loose Cannon taking over the ownership of the UK trademark and subsequently granting a license for use to Heavy Seas Beer in the UK. Heavy Seas has granted a mirror license to the Loose Cannon Brewery for the use of the Trademark in the EU."
