How was the Burger King lawsuit resolved?

After working with an attorney and following Burger King's strict demands, we changed our logo to something that didn't resemble the Burger King logo. We received a letter letting us know the matter was resolved. The Beaver King now has a completely new design that complies with all legal requirements.

Can I still buy Beaver King shirts?

Yes! The Beaver King reigns on with a new compliant design. You can purchase our legendary Beaver King T-Shirts at https://beaverking69.redbubble.com/. The new design is just as bold and hilarious, and completely legal!

Q: Did Burger King actually sue BeaverKing.net?

Not technically a lawsuit, but we received a cease and desist letter in 2005 from Burger King's law firm. The letter alleged misleading use of their federally registered logo, copyright infringement, and deceptive misuse of the phrase 'Have it your way'. This formal notice was the first step in a legal dispute that could have led to a lawsuit.
