Cuba Sues Kansas City Company of Use of Havana

From MyFoxKC:

Cuba is suing a Kansas City, Kansas company over its use of the word “Havana” to describe some of its products.

Habanos is run by the Cuban government and says cigar cutter company Xikar is infringing on the government’s trademark of the word “Havana.”

Xikar sells a cigar accessories collection called the “Havana Collection.” According to the suit, Cuba says Xikar “promotes it’s goods by deliberately and falsely associating those goods with Havana, Cuba” even though the items are not made in Havana.
