Budweiser untappd12/18/2023 Anheuser-Busch InBev has marketed " Budweiser" in the United States and Canada since 1876, and won a series of trademark confrontations to consolidate control of the Budweiser mark in the United States in the 1890s.Two breweries currently claim rights to the word "Budweiser": In 1876, the American brewer Anheuser-Busch began making a beer which they also called "Budweiser", motivated in part by a desire to "brew a beer similar in quality, color, flavor and taste to the beer then made at Budweis", according to Adolphus Busch. The beer from Budweis began being exported to the United States in 1872–73 and then again beginning in 1933. Both breweries made beer which they called "Budweiser", similar to how brewers in the city of Pilsen made a beer generically called Pilsner. During the time when both Czech and German were official languages in the kingdom, two breweries were founded in the city. In other territories, one or other or even both may use the name, depending on local trademark law.īeer brewing in the city of České Budějovice ( German: Budweis), which was then in the Kingdom of Bohemia and is now in the Czech Republic, dates back to the 13th century, when the city was granted brewing rights during the reign of Ottokar II of Bohemia. Consequently, AB InBev uses the name "Bud" in most of Europe and Budvar sells its beer in North America under the name "Czechvar". As a result, Budweiser Budvar has the rights to the name Budweiser in most of Europe and Anheuser-Busch InBev has this right in North America. The dispute has been ongoing since 1907, and has involved more than 100 court cases around the world. The Budweiser trademark dispute is an ongoing series of legal disputes between two beer companies (from the Czech Republic and the United States) who claim trademark and geographic origin rights to the name "Budweiser". American Budweiser sold in the European Union as "Bud"
