Czechs win battle over Bud name


The American beer giant Anheuser-Busch has lost a long-running legal battle over the use of its trademark "Bud" name in the UK.

A ruling by the House of Lords, Britain's highest court, allowed rival Czech brewer Budejovicky Budvar to continue to use the trademark "Bud" name.

The UK is the only country where both Anheuser-Busch and Budvar can sell their beer products using the Budweiser brand.
