The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) canceled the decision of its own department for the Tver region and sent for a new consideration the complaint of AB InBev Efes against the Afanasy brewing company on the use of the Tver Kozel trademark. This is stated on the FAS website.

AB InBev Efes complained about Athanasius to the Tverskoye OFAS back in September 2022. The foreign company’s portfolio includes Velkopopovitsky Kozel beer, while its opponent produces the Tverskoy Kozel beer drink, which has images of a goat similar to its brands. However, the antimonopoly authority did not find any violations, deciding that the parties are not competitors, and their products belong to different types of goods in different price categories: “Velkopopovitsky goat” from AB InBev Efes costs 190 rubles. for 1 liter, and “Tver Goat” from “Athanasius” – 60-70 rubles. for 1 liter
