0 Czech Republic: Budvar "reviewing" Italy Budweiser trademark ruling

Czech brewer Budejovicky Budvar NP Wednesday said it is reviewing a decision by an Italian appeals court that stripped it of its rights to the 'Budweiser' trademark in Italy, according to MarketWatch, March 23.

"At this moment our lawyers are reviewing the issue and we have no further comment," said Petr Samec, spokesman for Budejovicky Budvar.

Earlier Wednesday, U.S. brewer Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc. said an Italian appeals court had ruled in Anheuser-Busch's favor, ordering the cancellation of three registered trademarks held by Czech brewer.
The two companies are entangled in more than 40 trademark disputes around the world, over rights to the 'Budweiser' trademark. The companies have disputed the trademark since 1911.

Anheuser-Busch holds exclusive rights to the 'Budweiser' trademark in the U.S., although elsewhere the trademark variously belongs to one or other of the breweries, depending on local court rulings.
Budejovicky Budvar uses the 'Budvar' brand within the Czech Republic and abroad uses mainly the 'Budweiser' brand for the beer.

Both brewers named their beer 'Budweiser' after the Czech city Ceske Budejovice, called Budweis in German.

0 USA: Heineken expects increase in light beer 2007 sales and 135-155 mil euros cost cut

Brewer Heineken NV expects sales volume of its light beer, which it launched in the United States last March, to exceed one million hectoliters this year, a senior executive said, according to Reuters, March 21.

Rene Hooft Graafland, Heineken's chief financial officer, told Reuters in an interview that Heineken Premium Light sold 680,000 hectoliters during its first year, surprising the Dutch company, which had been expecting 400,000 hectoliters.

He said the company was working to get domestic light beer drinkers to "trade up" to a more expensive import.

"In the first year, it looks like it was really working," Graafland said. "If we are able to continue that -- and we are convinced that we can do that -- we plan for 2007 now to cross the one-million hectoliter mark."

Graafland said half the beer market in the United States belongs to so-called "light" beers, which have less alcohol and fewer calories. Of those, only 2 percent are imported, compared with 23 percent for regular-strength beers.

The company will start selling Heineken Premium Light, which is unique to the United States, in cans this year, Graafland said.

The best-selling beer in the United States is Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc.'s Bud Light ...
