Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association (JSLMA) Reinforces Standards for Labeling Japanese Whisky With New Logo
TOKYO, March 27, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association (JSLMA) announced the adoption of a new logo to reinforce their "Standards for Labeling Japanese Whisky" (industry standards), established in February 2021. By having JSLMA members apply this logo to their products that comply with the industry standards, the association hopes to raise awareness of Japanese whisky both in Japan and abroad while also making it easier for consumers to distinguish it from other types of whisky. This action represents a critical phase in the JSLMA's ongoing efforts to make their industry standards into a legally binding definition, as they begin preparation for Geographical Indication (GI) status application and establishment of "Labeling Standards for the Manufacturing Process and Quality of Japanese Whisky".
The new logo features the letters "JW" in the middle, surrounded by "JAPANESE WHISKY" and "JSLMA", representing the Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association, inscribed on the head of a whisky cask. In Japan, the trademark registration application has been submitted to the Japan Patent Office, with plans to file similar applications in international markets.
JSLMA has also started taking steps aimed at the legal codification of its industry standards. To achieve this, the association will aim for the registration of "Japanese Whisky" for GI status, and consult with the Japan National Tax Agency on the establishment of "Labeling Standards for the Manufacturing Process and Quality of Japanese Whisky", both under the Liquor Industry Association Act.
ABOUT JAPAN SPIRITS & LIQUEURS MAKERS ASSOCIATION (JSLMA)Established in 1953, JSLMA is the only organization of Western liquor manufacturers in Japan authorized under the Liquor Industry Association Act. It currently has 104 members (as of March 27, 2025) and plays an important role in the healthy development of the Western liquor industry in Japan.
ABOUT STANDARDS FOR LABELING JAPANESE WHISKY"Standards for Labeling Japanese Whisky" is an industry standard on Japanese Whisky established by JSLMA in February 2021 which later came into full effect in April 2024. Products must comply with the industry standards on ingredients and manufacturing methods to be labeled as Japanese Whisky.

Hagens Berman Responds to Appeals to NCAA College Athlete Name, Image and Likeness Settlement
OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following the federal court's final approval to a historic $20 billion plus settlement with the NCAA allowing payments and benefits to college athletes for the use of their name, image and likeness (NIL), Hagens Berman responded to the first appeal. 'If these lawyers believe that a Title IX case will succeed, they should bring it and not hijack payments to college athletes that could be lifechanging.' To address questions from NCAA athletes about the impact of the appeal, Hagens Berman issued the following statement: 'Attorneys John Clune and Ashlyn Hare of Hutchinson Black and Cook LLC and Rebecca Peterson-Fisher of Katz Banks Kumin LLP have filed a notice of their intent to appeal the historic NCAA settlement approved June 6, 2025, by Judge Claudia Wilken. 'This appeal will block payments to hundreds of thousands of athletes, delaying payments by a minimum of several months to potentially a year or more. These attorneys are pursuing an appeal based on a Title IX issue that Judge Wilken already disposed of correctly, quickly and multiple times. 'Judge Wilken noted that these attorneys cited 'no authority that Title IX applies to damages awards distributions or that damages distributions made by a claims administrator are subject to Title IX.'' 'This is an antitrust case about competition, it is not a Title IX case, and now hundreds of thousands of athletes will have to wait to recover for past wrongs that were addressed in this lawsuit in order for these attorneys to take on this unrelated issue,' added Hagens Berman co-founder and managing partner, Steve Berman, who serves as court-appointed co-lead counsel. 'If these lawyers believe that a Title IX case will succeed, they should bring it and not hijack payments to college athletes that could be lifechanging.' Straight from the Bench In Judge Wilken's June 6, 2025, opinion on the order granting final approval to the settlement, the court clearly states that it overrules objections, noting, 'There is nothing in the SA [settlement agreement] that would prevent or prohibit schools from distributing benefits and compensation pursuant to the Injunctive Relief Settlement in a manner that complies with Title IX.' Berman added, 'Judge Wilken had made that same ruling earlier in the case, theoretically allowing objectors ample time to find authority to back up their objection, and they failed. It's a shame given this utter failure they will be holding up payments to athletes. I say shame on them.' Hagens Berman represents a class of nearly 400,000 college athletes in the lawsuit in which the total value under the new revenue-sharing model is expected to exceed $20 billion over the next 10 years. The settlement resolves three pending antitrust lawsuits, House v. NCAA, Hubbard v. NCAA, and Carter v. NCAA. Class members in the three affected cases may find out more about the claim process by visiting the settlement website at .
