Cultural appropriation/theft much?
Been a ranty button for me for ages this sort of thing.
Started for me when the local Heineken owned mega brewery trademarked
"Saison" and "Radler" and set their lawyers onto small independent breweries making Radler and Saison.
This was followed by an American winery owner trademarking Martariki which is the Maori name for the winter solstice..... and at the time I was the organizing/running an annual mid winter craft beer festival called the "Matariki Winter ales fest".
