Budweiser

In Prague, they have Budweiser. The Czech version of it. The story behind the trademark Budweiser is kind of interesting, and a discussion that have been going on for many years.

Anheuser-Busch started using the Budweiser brand in 1876 and registered it two years later – more than 19 years before Budejovicky Budvar (brewer of Budvar) was established in 1895. It was not until the 1960s that Budvar started using “Budweiser” prominently on its label – long after A-B built Budweiser into an internationally recognized name for beer.

In short, Budejovicky Budvar use the name Budweiser in Czheck Republic, but Budvar in most other places. The dispute is not over yet though.
