# Thomson Reuters Reports Pernod Ricard Loses to Bacardi in Trademark Case

 August 4, 2011

 

 

 

 

 

 

The *Thomson Reuters* article, ​“Pernod Loses U.S. Appeal on Bacardi Havana Club Rum,” reported that a court rejected Pernod’s false advertising claim against Bacardi for regarding use of the name ​“Havana Club” rum. The Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia said ​“no reasonable person” would believe Bacardi rum is made in Cuba because the label says it is made in Puerto Rico. The decision upholds a 2010 ruling of a Delaware federal judge.

The article noted that Bacardi is represented by Kelley Drye partner **William R. Golden Jr.**.
