 The U.S. Supreme Court is responsible for closing legal opportunities that allow Cubaexport to defend the property of the Cuban rum trademark Havana Club in this country, Granma newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The action paves the way to definitely strip the Cuban company of the right to maintain the registration of a trademark for over 30 years in the United States.
The complicity of the U.S. government jeopardizes the protection of about 6,000 brands of companies from that nation registered in Cuba to satisfy the interests of a tiny group around Bacardi.
The Department of State instructed the Office of Foreign Assets Control to not allow the license for Cubaexport to renew the registration of the Havana Club rum, claiming that it would not be in correspondence with the government's policy on Cuba.
That decision concludes an infamy that had been brewing for over 20 years, because since the 1990s, Florida extremist sectors have maneuvered to hinder and destroy Cuba's economic and trade relations, says the text. (PL)
