| ECJ rejects Budvar’s claim for Bud brand name |
| Luxembourgh, 09.09.2009 |
|
| The European Court of Justice in Luxembourg ruled on Tuesday that the state-owned Czech brewery Budějovický Budvar does not have an exclusive right to the Bud brand name which at the core of long-term disputes with the US firm Anheuser-Busch. The court said that EU legislation is superior to bilateral agreements, and the brand name is not registered in the EU list of protected products.
The ruling is related to a commercial court case in Austria, in which the Czech beer producer is demanding a ban on the sale of the American Budweiser. The Czech company claimed that a 1976 agreement between Austrian and Czechoslovakia protects the Bud brand name.
