The dispute gained national attention after HBO host John Oliver highlighted Buc-ee’s aggressive history of suing businesses over cartoon animal logos, citing Teddy’s Market. Buc-ee’s initiated the lawsuit, claiming Teddy’s Market’s teddy bear logo was confusingly similar to its beaver symbol and seeking monetary damages and a ban on Teddy’s branding. Teddy’s Market is counter-suing, accusing Buc-ee’s of being a 'trademark bully' and alleging it fraudulently obtained its trademark from the vintage 'Bucky Beaver' character. This legal battle is part of a pattern, with Buc-ee’s having filed similar trademark lawsuits against other small businesses, including Beaver's Mini Mart in Ohio.
