Annual revenue for the brewery was not disclosed, but “the revenues show steady annual increases between 1999 and 2014,” representing almost a tenfold increase, the opinion stated.

Phyllis Schlafly argued that the recognition of the brewery’s trademark should be quantitatively compared to the recognition of her surname, but “the statute calls for no such popularity contest,” administrative trademark judge Anthony Masiello wrote in the opinion.

“Over a period of almost 25 years, applicant has conducted its business in such a way as to establish an association between the name Schlafly and its beer,” the opinion stated.

“Inasmuch as there is no evidence of market proximity between (the brewery) and the activities of Phyllis Schlafly, there is no reason to believe that those activities have interfered with the ability of customers to associate” the brewery’s trademark with its goods, the opinion continued.

Phyllis Schlafly declined to comment for this story, but her attorney and son, Andy Schlafly, said he may appeal.
