AB InBev, which produces Budweiser beer and is recognized as the world’s biggest brewer, will have to call its flagship beer “Bud”—at least in Italy. The brewer lost a recent court battle with Czech-based brewer Budejovicky Budvar, which also sells a beer known as Budweiser. The breweries have been battling it out for decades, with trademark disputes still outstanding in more than 20 countries.
