01. Other Events

Item 8.01. Other Events. Trademark Infringement Litigation On April 28, 2022, a trademark infringement complaint for injunctive and other relief was filed against Beyond Meat, Inc. (the "Company") in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division, captioned Sonate Corporation, d/b/a Vegadelphia Foods ("Sonate") v. Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc., Dunkin' Brands, Inc. (collectively, "Dunkin'") and Beyond Meat, Inc., et al., Case No. 6:22-cv-00812. A First Amended Complaint was filed on May 17, 2022 (the "FAC"). The FAC alleged that the Company and Dunkin's use of the tagline "Great Taste Plant-Based," infringed on Sonate's registered trademark WHERE GREAT TASTE IS PLANT-BASED ("Sonate's trademark"). Additionally, Sonate alleged that the Company's use of the tagline "Plant-Based Great Taste" in connection with its own sales of products also infringed on Sonate's trademark. The FAC sought injunctive relief and a monetary award for corrective advertising, a reasonable royalty award, damages representing Sonate's lost sales and the Company's profits generated by the alleged likelihood of confusion, interest, costs, expenses and attorneys' fees. On June 24, 2022, both the Company and Dunkin' filed their answers to the FAC and a motion to change venue. On March 24, 2023, the court issued an order granting Dunkin' and the Company's motion to transfer venue and directed the clerk of the court to transfer the case to the District of Massachusetts, Boston Division for all further proceedings (Case No. 1:23-cv-10690-IT). The Company contended that Sonate will not be able to meet its burden of establishing a likelihood of confusion. Additionally, the Company asserted the fair use defense to Sonate's allegations, namely that the Company's use of "Plant-Based Great Taste" and "Great Taste Plant-Based" satisfy the requirements of the fair use doctrine (e.g., they are only used descriptively), precluding liability. Mediation was held on Septem
