The Other 'F Word': Brewer Responds To Starbucks O...
Well' sure. It has become somewhat generic, but as long as they protect it, it remains their mark. That said, Starbucks doesn't brew beer, so the likelihood of confusion is low. I doubt they would prevail in court.

Starbucks might not brew beer, but there are plenty of brewers who use coffee in their beers, so the likelihood of confusion isn't that small.
