After doing some research, Heartbrand is the ONLY company outside of Japan that sells this beef and the only company outside of Japan to have 100% full blood Akaushi. Other meat companies do sell it via their supplier, aka Heartbrand Beef. Do some research with Texas A&M…They can tell you anything you want to know.

They do not have a trademark.

They claim they have an exclusive marketing agreement for that type of beef.

Heartland Beef does not own a TM that I can locate on the term – Akaushi.

The wiki comments sound like salesmanship.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akaushi

I am confused why Heartland shows up when you do a TM search in USPTO for akaushi.

Can’t other beef companies have access to this specific beef?

Is there a standard that the beef must be 100% akaushi beef?
Couldn’t other steers have an akaushi bloodline?

Will this ruling open the door slightly wider for abuse by the search companies?

Very encouraging news. It is nice to see common sense prevail in this one (not that the law is always full of common sense but still nice all the same).
