A Scotch whisky producer is being sued in a US court for allegedly infringing a bourbon maker's trademark.

A lawsuit filed by Joseph A. Magnus & Co in Washington DC claims Highland Distillers does not have the right to use the mark "Magnus" on a Highland Park malt whisky it sells in America.

It argues that the Scotch expression "bears a similar design and overall appearance" to its own "Magnus" labels.

Obviously the Yanks don't know the origin of the name "Magnus"!
