AB-InBev has filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission that Heineken’s bag-in-bottle beer dispenser, introduced in 2015, infringes the company’s four US patents covering the concept, media reported in early May 2018.

According to news services, AB-InBev is seeking cash compensation and an injunction as part of the legal actions over Heineken’s Brewlock and Blade draught systems.
