The Industrial Property Tribunal has temporarily barred Mount Kenya Breweries Ltd from using bottles Kenya Wines Agencies Ltd says are its design to sell its vodka brand known as Sparkler.

The five-member tribunal ruled that Kwal had proved that the bottles used by MKBL were similar to Kwal’s Kibao Vodka, infringing on its property rights.
