In a 2024 tequila case, a Houston federal court relied on the defendant's Eveready survey and rejected the plaintiff's Squirt survey because the products were not shelved together, and found no likely confusion between CASA AZUL and CLASE AZUL. The ruling was appealed to the Fifth Circuit under No. 24-20255, and the appeal is undecided. Only the district court decision and the pending appeal are stated here; no outcome is presented.
