Can you use other people's brands in your product's ingredient list?

Questioner

Is it allowed - under trademark law - that as a company that makes cocktails (premixed) you use the brand name of a beverage producer in the list of ingredients of your product? So for example, you sell a premixed margarita cocktail, and you mention the producer of the tequila and you possibly place a logo next to it. Is this allowed?

Lawyer

No, based on trademark law. Also check for which categories the trademark holder has registered his trademark. Usually broadly so that the option you mention is 'protected'. A logo is also often protected. I advise you to have preventive research carried out into the (im)possibilities.
