Heineken Brouwerijen B.V.
Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. is the owner of many valuable designs, trademarks, trade dress and copyrights for the word Heineken, the Heineken logo and many other distinctive designs and words. Heineken USA, Incorporated is the sole importer of the Heineken brands in the US. Heineken USA and its affiliates (“Heineken”) have invested vast resources to establish their intellectual property portfolio and the goodwill associated therein. These marks and the Heineken brand name that they represent are famous throughout the world. Because of Heineken’s popularity, extensive demand exists for Heineken-related products. Consequently, the intellectual property of Heineken may not be used without their express written permission. Merchandise that bears marks or designs that are either identical to or clear imitations or derivations of Heineken’s trademarks, trade dress or copyrighted material sold or offered for sale violates the intellectual property rights of Heineken. The unauthorized production or sale of merchandise bearing Heineken marks and/or designs, or ones confusingly similar thereto without a license is illegal. Such activities diminish the value of Heineken’s intellectual property, cripple the effectiveness of Heineken’s licensing programs and endanger Heineken’s goodwill and reputation. Producing or distributing unlicensed merchandise also constitutes unfair competition. Such activities cause consumers to buy such merchandise in the mistaken belief that it originates from Heineken or is otherwise licensed by or related to Heineken, which siphons profits away from legitimate licensees and generates unjust profits for infringers. Consequently, the unauthorized use of Heineken’s intellectual property constitutes infringement, counterfeiting and dilution, unfair competition, and violates a variety of federal and state civil and criminal laws. Heineken has never and will never authorize, license or promote its products with toys or other marketing material aimed at children. Additionally, Heineken retains an ownership interest in all promotional materials provided to its distributors. Heineken will aggressively protect its intellectual property rights and take action against all infringements. If you have information regarding counterfeit or infringing merchandise, please contact: Continental Enterprises 1292 E 91 St. Indianapolis, IN 46240
