Backcountry.com battles small businesses over trademark
The news of Backcountry.com suing smaller companies for using the word “backcountry” in their titles has led to inquiries about the status of Alpinist’s sister publication, Backcountry Magazine. Height of Land Publications Editorial Director Tyler Cohen, formerly editor-in-chief of Backcountry, wrote the following story that includes a statement from HOL CEO Adam Howard. So far, Backcountry Magazine has not been included in these lawsuits and Height of Land Publications stands in solidarity with the smaller companies that are being impacted.
