GENERAL CIGAR TO APPEAL DECISION
IN COHIBA TRADEMARK RULING

 
NEW YORK, March 29, 2004-A judge in New York ruled Friday in favor of Cuban-government owned Cubatabaco in its lawsuit against General Cigar over trademark ownership of the Cohiba brand in the United States.

General Cigar, which currently manufactures and markets the Cohiba brand in the U.S., has vowed to defend its rights and immediately appeal the ruling.

Edgar M. Cullman, Jr., President and CEO of General Cigar comments, “We are obviously disappointed in the judge’s ruling. Based on our long-standing U.S. registration of the Cohiba brand and Cubatabaco’s acquiescence for almost two decades, we marketed this brand with the confidence that we owned the mark. We intend to appeal this decision and feel confident that it will be overturned.”

General Cigar received its first registration of the Cohiba trademark in the United States in 1981, and obtained an updated registration in 1995. The company has been selling its Dominican Cohiba cigar in the United States for over two decades.

Cubatabaco filed the lawsuit in 1997 against General Cigar, claiming rights to the Cohiba name in the United States under U.S. law and international treaties, although Cubatabaco had failed to take any legal action against General Cigar for nearly 20 years.
