In the latest development in a multidecade trademark dispute, a pair of Cuban companies have asked a D.C. federal judge to dismiss Bacardi & Co. Ltd.'s lawsuit seeking cancelation of a trademark registration held by one of the companies, saying that Bacardi's suit fails to make a sufficient argument for cancelling the disputed registration.
Bacardi on Friday cracked open a new round of its longstanding legal dispute with a Cuban state-owned entity over the trademark for the "Havana Club" brand of rum, arguing that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in January wrongly allowed its rivals to renew a registration for the mark.
