The Czech beer producer Budvar succeeded on Wednesday in registering its Budweiser Budvar trademark in Hong Kong, following an 11-year-long dispute with its American competitor Anheuser-Busch. The České Budějovice-based brewing company has also started exporting its lager to mainland China. Budvar is currently involved in trademark disputes with its U.S. rival in more than 40 countries around the world.
