Trademark Victory for Budweiser Beer in Europe

As reported on Canada.com, Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc. has announced a legal victory in a continuing battle to trademark its top-selling Budweiser beer in Europe.
The Board of Appeal for the European Union’s Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market ruled that Anheuser-Busch can register its trademark Bud beer throughout Europe.
This ruling is subject to appeal, but it does represent a major step forward in the company’s effort to market Bud beer abroad. As a result of the ruling, Anheuser-Busch can sell its flagship brand in thirty European countries.
