Beer Taste - The Epic Budweiser Battle 🍻
Welcome to the grand showdown between beer giants in the legendary Budweiser trademark tussle that's been brewing since 1907 🤼♂️🍺
Round 1: The Contenders
In the red corner, weighing in with 150,000 global employees and 400 million hectoliters of beer sold annually, we have the reigning champ: Anheuser-Busch InBev!
And in the blue corner, holding it down with 600 employees and 1.4 million hectoliters of beer sold yearly, the formidable challenger: Budweiser Budvar Brewery! 🇨🇿
Round 2: The Historical Feud
Picture this—13th-century Czech brewing rights, 1876 American Budweiser inception, and a 1930s Italian faceoff. The result? A trademark tug-of-war spanning over a century🤯
Round 3: Legal Theories & Contractual Drama
Anheuser-Busch flaunts prior U.S. trademark registration, while Budvar claims generic and geographical indication rights. Contracts from 1911 and 1939 add a spicy twist to the courtroom theatrics🎭
Round 4: Courtroom Chronicles
With about 40 disputes globally, the legal dance continues. Budvar claims 89 victories, but the bouts are far from over. In the EU, Germany, and the UK, decisions move like a tipsy pub-goer!
Round 5: Alternative Brands & Creative Moves
When AB InBev falters, "Bud" emerges (think Italy), and in Germany, it's the quirky "Anheuser-Busch B." Budvar flexes with "Czechvar" where Bud is off-limits. Talk about strategic sips 🤔
So, whether you're sipping a cold one in the U.S., enjoying a pint in Europe, or contemplating the beer aisle choices—know that the Budweiser saga is an ever-unfolding tale of hops, barley, and legal jousting!
Tbh, I like both and that’s what matters! Cheers 🍻
And that's it for this week! Thanks for reading 🚀
