The owners of the TD Garden sports arena in Boston have launched a trademark lawsuit against a Massachusetts cannabis dispensary operating under the name “The Boston Garden,” alleging the branding is too similar to the name of the former stadium, Boston Garden, which closed in 1995.
TD Garden, home to the Boston Bruins in the NHL and the Boston Celtics in the NBA, is just 10 minutes from the dispensary in Cambridge. The company behind the store also has outlets in Somerville and Athol.
