Budweiser wins latest round in European fight over name - by RAF CASERT

A European Union high court upheld several Anheuser-Busch trademarks and dismissed a challenge from Czech brewing rival Budvar on Tuesday, the latest ruling in a century of disputes relating to the name "Budweiser." Budejovicky Budvar NP asked the court to overturn 12 EU trademark applications of Anheuser-Busch Cos., claiming they infringe on Budvar's right under French law to the term Budweiser. The trademarks cover promotional goods including clothing, beermats, neon signs and glassware.
