Anheuser-Busch InBev loses Budweiser name case
Quote:
Global brewing giant Anheuser-Busch InBev has suffered a defeat in a long-running battle over the rights to the Budweiser beer brand.
The European Court of Justice has ruled that AB InBev cannot have exclusive European rights to the Budweiser name.
The ruling comes 14 years after its initial application to register the name as an EU trademark was blocked by Czech brewer Budejovicky Budvar.
