Has there been any resolution on the trademark battle
between Budweiser beer of Czechoslovakia and Budweiser
beer of the United States?

On the other hand, sparkling wine from California
''is'' called
champagne. Trademarks, especially in the
international arena, are seldom
absolute.
It's a bad example anyway, because 'Champagne' is
not a trademark. A trademark
is owned by a single company (although it might
allow others to use it).
"Champagne" is a _product name_ (and the European
Union has specified that
only when it is created in a certain region, the
product name may be used).
