The Delhi High Court has restrained the owner of trademark 'BLACK FORT' and 'POWER COOL' from manufacturing or selling under the trademark 'BUDWEISER' in recycled bottles, or in any other manner, in respect of beer manufactured and sold by it.
Ruling in favour of Anheuser-Busch LLC, owner of trademark 'BUDWEISER', Justice Pratibha M Singh was of the view that the use of recycled 'BUDWEISER' beer bottles for the products being sold under the mark 'BLACK FORT' and 'POWER COOL' by the Defendant Company would clearly constitute `use in the course of trade'.
