Two Utah chains that sell flavor-shot-spiked "dirty sodas" say they're nearing a settlement in their court battle over trademark rights.
Court documents filed Thursday show that soda shops Sodalicious and Swig are asking a judge to pause the case for a month while negotiations continue.
Swig filed the lawsuit last year, saying Sodalicious ripped off the increasingly profitable sugary concept.
Sodalicious pushed back, saying the word "dirty" is a common drink moniker and they'd done nothing wrong.
The case had been scheduled to go to trial in August 2017.
