LEAVENWORTH – It’s a tale of two events. The city of Leavenworth and Projekt Bayern are asking a judge to settle their differences over the legality of having a non-Leavenworth-based event label itself as ‘Leavenworth Oktoberfest.’ The city of Leavenworth submitted a prayer for relief to the Court for a trial by jury to decide if Projekt Bayern’s trademark of the phrase ‘Leavenworth Oktoberfest’ is invalid and bar Projekt Bayern from using the name without the city’s permission. A hearing on the matter is set for Sept. 27 at the U.S. District Court in Spokane.
