A medical cannabis dispensary chain with locations in Oklahoma City and Tulsa is the subject of a federal copyright infringement lawsuit alleging that the business stole its logo from a children’s entertainment company based in Canada.
Nelvana Enterprises Inc., a corporation with headquarters in Toronto, alleges in a lawsuit filed in Tulsa federal court on Friday that the Treehouse Dispensary chain “willfully copied and is using a confusing similar imitation” of a logo Nelvana has used since the 1990s.
Nelvana also alleges that Treehouse Dispensary said it would stop using the trademarked logo but refused to provide a deadline and failed to follow through on its promise in a timely fashion. As a result, Nelvana seeks financial damages to include profits the dispensaries incurred while using and promoting the logo.
Treehouse Dispensary has billed itself as the “home of the $99 ounce” of cannabis. Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority records list the business name for the Tulsa store as “The Treehouse 41 LLC.
