History

The brewery was founded in 1895 in Budweis by Czech brewers ( August Zátka others) as the corporation Český akciový Pivovar, in competition with the Budweiser rgerbr from the Civil Brauhaus Budweis, which had been founded in 1795 and German citizens belonged. End of the 19th century was Budweiser (as well as Pilsner ) in America a popular trade name, to which usage rights from 1907 between the local and the American company Anheuser Busch has been argued ( Budweiser dispute ). They agreed to sell his products only on the home continent as Budweiser. After 1945, the two Czech companies were nationalized. On the re-use of the German name Budweiser was waived export outside of the Eastern Bloc, there was little.

This changed after 1989, in part, as the Czech breweries recollected their traditions. In 2002 succeeded the Budvar brewery to resume making after 62 years in the U.S. and Canadian markets. Due to the trademark rights of Anheuser Busch, the beer is sold there under the brand Czechvar. The brewery is currently a state- owned enterprise. However, long- planned, but to transform the company into a public company and privatize.

In July 2010, the European Court ruled definitively that Anheuser -Busch could not leave his mark " Budweiser " in the EU protect, as the Czech brewery have the prior right to the name and the trademark laws in some EU countries already legally owned Budweiser Budvar are from.

The situation is different, however, in the UK. There, both Anheuser -Busch Budweiser Budvar and are registered as the holder of the trademark " Budweiser ". This is due to a peculiarity of the British trademark law that two users a brand or two confusingly similar marks in the case of honest concurrent use ( " honest concurrent use " ) or can register in the presence of other special circumstances. The European Court of Justice ruled on 22 September 2011 that this provision does not violate EU law. Both manufacturers distribute more than 30 years in the UK beers under the name " Budweiser ", which differ so much in terms of taste, appearance and price that British consumers both beers perceive as independent brands.
