The manufacturer of Fearless Energy Drink, that is, Rite Foods, has raised alarm over corporate infringement, identity theft and claim of alleged imitation by Mamuda Beverages, who is the producer of POP Energy drink as Rite foods files ex-parte motion at an Abuja High court.

The Fearless Energy Drink has been embroiled in a legal dispute with Mamuda Beverages Nig Ltd, over a claim of imitation and trademark infringement product that appears to mimic Fearless Energy Drink.

Rite Foods also alleged that Mamuda Beverages’ Pop Power Energy Drink closely resembles their own, potentially confusing consumers and harming their brand.

To this end, Rite Foods filed a lawsuit against Mamuda Beverages in the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking a court order to halt the sale of Pop Power Energy Drink.

Speaking on the claim of Imitation, Rite Foods asserts that Pop Power Energy Drink’s packaging, graphics and design are too similar to Fearless, potentially leading consumers to believe they are buying the same product.
