A lawsuit filed by Big Sky Brewing Co. alleging trademark infringement by Anheuser-Busch has been voluntarily dismissed.

Under an amicable agreement, Big Sky agreed to drop the lawsuit in exchange for Anheuser-Busch taking down popular Bud Light videos posted to YouTube that used the phrase, “Hold my beer and watch this,” said Lisa Weser, communications director for the St. Louis-headquartered brewer.

A Dec. 9 letter filed in U.S. District Court in Missoula and sent from Big Sky’s lawyer to Anheuser-Busch, which is owned by Belgium company InBev, demanded the larger company cease using the phrase in its YouTube videos. The videos did not appear on television but garnered millions of views online before being taken down last week.

Later in December, Big Sky filed a lawsuit against Anheuser-Busch saying the Missoula brewery had been using the phrase since 2004 and had trademarked it for beer and alcohol uses in 2009.

According to court documents, Big Sky dropped the lawsuit Wednesday.
