RushNet, Inc. (RSHN.PK), the Chicago area-based beverage marketing company announced that recently it has received a trade mark for its e-water® brand in Japan. The company has compiled over two years in its quest to secure the mark, which required strategic legal action to actually have trademark status cleared in Japan. http://www.applerush.com/trademark1.pdf

In an effort to capitalize on the opportunities now available in Japan, as well as an upsurge of interest in e-water® elsewhere, RushNet has granted a license for the marketing rights to the e-water® (a U.S. Registered Trademark) brand to the Apple Rush Company Inc. (APRU.PK). Apple Rush will also be granted the authority to produce e-water® and RushNet will receive a royalty payment for the rights based on case sales.

Apple Rush will introduce e-water® to its entire National and International distribution network. Apple Rush’s Garden Distributing division continues working to gain distribution in Metro-Chicago area Heath Food Stores and Health Clubs & Gyms.

With its newly acquired License Agreement for e-water®, Apple Rush has embarked on the process of interviewing potential import distributors in Japan. Apple Rush envisions e-water® as a strong asset that provides a great alternative to the sugared electrolyte waters with, compared to e-water®, their meager enhancement levels. It will be Apple Rush’s goal to find the most cost effective delivery system for its potential customers in Japan.
