03-Heaven Hill kicking on Heaven’s Door (Spirits)

A lawsuit was filed last week in U.S. District Court against Chicago-based Heaven’s Door Spirits, which offers a collection of American whiskey co-created by musician Bob Dylan. Heaven Hill became aware of intent-to-use trademark applications for Heaven’s Door in August 2017 and issued a cease and desist letter April 25 after learning the company was launching a series of whiskey products. Attorneys representing Heaven Hill also said Heaven’s Door labels use similar color schemes to labels used by the Bardstown distillery, along with a “stacked format” similar to a brand logo used on some of Heaven Hill’s promotional materials. Heaven’s Door has until Sept. 10 to file an answer to the complaint.

02-School bus not involved in mishap

It was reported that a school bus had been involved and left the scene, but the deputy who investigated the accident, Lt. Kaelen Matthews, found that the car involved never made contact with the bus and no one was injured. The car was driven by a female juvenile who had two other teens as passengers. The bus driver’s information was obtained at the Nelson County bus garage. According to the witness, the bus had made a left turn from Sullivan Lane onto Louisville Road in front of the car, which was traveling southbound. The bus was listed as a contributing factor to the accident since the driver of the passenger car had to take evasive action to avoid striking the bus.
