The cost of trademarking and marketing a beer brand? In this case, $50k
But Steamworks was awarded the registered trademark on Cascadia in 2006 after a seven-year dispute with Granville Island Brewing, which dropped its opposition after being sold by Cascadia Brands. After spending $15,000 in legal fees to obtain the trademark, Steamworks has spent in the area of $35,000 on marketing, coasters, art and promotional materials for the Cascadia brand, Gershkovitch said.
