    Bavaria NV v Bayerischer Brauerbund eV [2009] FCA 428 FEDERAL COURT OF AUSTRALIA BENNETT J BENNETT J: THE TRADE MARK APPLICATION 1 This is an appeal from a decision of a Delegate of the Registrar of Trade Marks (‘the Delegate’). The Delegate upheld an opposition to the applicant’s registration of the following trade mark (‘the trade mark’): 2 It is apparent that the trade mark contains a reference to a place, Bavaria, which is associated with the brewing of beer. The question is whether the trade mark, which contains that word, should be registered. 3 There is an endorsement on the trade mark application which provides that when the trade mark is used for items in the specification of goods other than beer, the word “Beer” in the trade mark will be changed to accord with those other items. For example, if the product were juice, the word “Beer” would be replaced with the word “Juice”. The case has been conducted on the basis of the proposed registration for beer. THE PARTIES The applicant 4 The applicant for registration of the trade mark, the applicant in this appeal, is Bavaria NV, a family-owned company incorporated in The Netherlands that manufactures beer and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. 5 By an application filed on 22 August 2000, Bavaria NV seeks registration of the trade mark in respect of Classes 32 and 33 for, inter alia, beer and other beverages. 22 August 2000 is the priority date of the application. 6 Bavaria NV is a significant producer of beer both locally in The Netherlands and for export from The Netherlands.
