The Tillamook County Creamery Association waited too long to object to a jerky and smoked meat company's use of the word "Tillamook," the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday. In 1976, one member of the association started the meat business, naming it Tillamook Country Smoker, and in the early 1990s, expanded into supermarket sales. The creamery filed suit alleging trademark infringement, but U.S. District Judge Michael Mosman ruled in 2004 that it was too late.
