Wine Labels 201: Protecting Your Design

11/14/2017

In the July/August Issue, The Grapevine published an article by attorney, Lindsey Zahn, entitled “Wine Labels 101: Navigating TTB’s COLA Process.”  The article described the information that must be contained on the label as well as how the label gets approved for use.

This article will discuss how to protect the design of the label.  Aside from the required information relating to contents, origin, etc., a label contains many creative aspects, including: brand names, logos, pictures, drawings, color schemes, unique label shapes, backgrounds, and fanciful descriptions of the winery and the product.  But, in a crowded market, how can those elements be protected against copying by competitors?  There are three tools available to wineries to protect their labels: trademarks, trade dress, and copyrights.
