Dublin Dr Pepper, the world's oldest Dr Pepper bottler, has responded to a lawsuit filed by its Plano, Texas-based corporate partner Dr Pepper Snapple. In the response, Dallas attorney Steven Wolens of McKool Smith details how Dublin Dr Pepper earned decades of support from its corporate partner prior to the lawsuit. Dr Pepper Snapple wants a federal court to prevent online and toll-free sales of the iconic soft drink, and claims the "Dublin Dr Pepper" name violates a company trademark. In a 2009 television interview, Dr Pepper Snapple President and CEO Larry Young described Dublin Dr Pepper: "It's the original Dr Pepper formula with the Imperial Sugar in it and their following is unbelievable . . . nothing tastes better than a Dublin Dr Pepper when it's ice cold." For more information, contact Bruce Vincent at 800-559-4534 or bruce@androvett.com.
