The Supreme Court of Spain today confirmed the Havana Club joint venture’s ownership of the Havana Club trademark in Spain. This is the third time the Spanish courts have rejected Bacardi’s challenge to the joint venture’s rights over the trademark. The joint venture’s ownership was previously recognised by the Spanish lower court in 2005 and then again on appeal by the Provincial Court of Madrid in 2007.
