The reason behind the controversy was trademark rights over the use of the word "Duke". Duke University opposed John Wayne Enterprises' attempt to trademark the word "Duke" appearing on one of its bottles, as it felt it could create confusion given Duke University's prominent use of the name. This led to a legal battle between the two parties over trademark jurisdiction and ownership of the word.
