NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2005--The Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York has ruled today in favor of General Cigar Co., Inc. in a lawsuit filed by Cubatabaco in 1997 over trademark ownership of the Cohiba(R) brand in the United States.

The Second Circuit held that "General Cigar's legal right to the Cohiba mark has been established as against Cubatabaco. General Cigar has a right to use the mark in the United States because it owns the mark in the United States."

As a result of the ruling, General Cigar will be able to continue to manufacture the Cohiba brand and market it in the U.S.

Here is General Cigar's press release.
