Applications to trademark the name -- which means "fucking" in German -- were first rejected by the German Patent Office, on the grounds that it was immoral. But this was rejected by the patent court, which ruled that Ficken could be registered when used as a name on clothing and for drinks. This cleared the way for the beverage company EFAG, based in Altheim in Baden-Württemberg, to secure rights to the brand."
