 J.G.Smith decided to take legal action and tried to claim ownership on "The Glenlivet" name, this legal action was only partially successful - the verdict forced other distillers in the area to stop calling their whisky "Glenlivet" and gave J.G.Smith and the blender Andrew Usher sole permission to use the brand, but permitted other distilleries to hyphenate their distillery name with the "Glenlivet" name, which resulted in new distillery names such as "The Glen Moray-Glenlivet Distillery", a distillery which is situated nearby.
