VICTORY FOR AMERICAN BUDWEISER IN ITALY


Hot on the heels of an opposite ruling by the Czech court, a court in Rome has ruled that the rights in the Budweiser name should go to the US brewer, Anheuser-Busch. The Italian court has ruled that the Czech brewer’s two "Budweiser Budbrau" trade marks and one "Budweiser Budvar" trade mark should be cancelled. Budejovicky Budvar can still appeal against the court’s decision.

The IPKat selflessly conducts a spot of empirical research for the benefit of his readers…

The IPKat hates to think what the patchwork of contrary decisions concerning the two companies’ trade marks must do for the brewers’ European marketing strategies. If anyone has access to the text of the Italian court’s decision, the IPKat would love to know about it.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
