Australian beekeepers have won a four-year trademark battle in Britain amid a long-running dispute with Kiwis over who can claim the term “manuka honey”.
A group of New Zealand honey producers working to trademark the term mānuka honey say they are considering their options, after the United Kingdom rejected their application.
The Australian manuka honey industry has gathered over 5,000 pages of information to fight back in court against New Zealand’s recent attempts to trademark the name ‘manuka’ for its honey, after failed attempts to reach a truce.
