Kendall Jenner’s tequila brand 818 Tequila is facing a lawsuit from a Texas-based tequila company, claiming 818 Tequila ripped off its logo and colour scheme.

Sellers of Tequila 512 say their brand uses a “highly distinctive logo and color scheme that has been in place since 2015,” according to KXAN, an NBC-affiliated television station in Austin, Texas. The suit from Tequila 512, which was filed on Wednesday in California, also points out how similar the names of both companies are — 512 being an area code in Austin, Texas while 818 is in reference to an area code in Los Angeles.
