AB InBev Wins Back ‘Bud’ Name in Austria After Court Decision
Anheuser-Busch InBev NV won back the rights to use the name “Bud” on beer in Austria after a local court lifted an injunction that had given Budejovicky Budvar NP the sole entitlement to the name in the country. A Viennese commercial court in a decision signed Oct. 19 decided to lift the injunction that prevented Anheuser-Busch from selling beer under the name American Bud in Austria since 1999. Austria’s Supreme Court already ruled against Budvar in August. Budvar claims it owns the rights to “Bud” because its beer comes from Ceske Budejovice, or Budweis in German. The brewer argued that Bud has been a national geographical indication since 1975 in the Czech Republic and this protection was extended by a bilateral agreement to Austria in 1976.
