Drunk Shakespeare Producer Sues Amazon, Alleging Prime Video's 'Off Campus' Violated Its Trademarks

Brass Jar, the New York company behind the live Drunk Shakespeare shows, sued Amazon on Sept. 17 in Miami federal court, claiming Episode 4 of Prime Video's YA hockey drama Off Campus staged a fictional campus Drunk Shakespeare production and used the brand's marks without permission. The complaint, which follows a June 3 warning letter Amazon answered by denying any copyright claim, seeks treble and statutory damages of up to $2 million per counterfeit mark and accuses Amazon of creating consumer confusion. The show runs in six U.S. cities and has spun off Drunk Dracula and Drunk Christmas Carol. Amazon declined to comment.
