Brooklyn Beckham faces a legal challenge from German brewing giant Beck’s after attempting to trademark the name ‘Becks Buns’ for his latest culinary project. The drinks company, owned by Brauerei Beck & Co, has filed to block the trademark and secured a one-month extension to submit formal paperwork.
The 26-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham recently launched his hot sauce brand Cloud23, named after the number 23 shirt worn by his father at Real Madrid and LA Galaxy. The range debuted in Whole Foods across the UK last autumn and includes Sweet Jalapeño and Hot Habanero varieties. The trademark snag comes as reports suggest strained relations within the Beckham family.
Brooklyn and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, have been at the centre of a highly publicised feud with his parents. A source claimed Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and learned of David’s upcoming knighthood via media reports rather than directly. However, a source close to Brooklyn denied this, saying the focus should be on David’s honour. The couple fuelled speculation last week by appearing on the cover of German Glamour magazine, where Brooklyn’s chest tattoo once reading ‘mama’s boy’ was replaced by a floral design representing Peltz’s wedding bouquet.
Brooklyn is said to have around 100 tattoos, with approximately 70 dedicated to Nicola and her family. The Standard has contacted his representative for comment.
