 4        "(235 ILCS 5/6-9) (from Ch. 43, par. 126)
 5        Sec.  6-9.  Registration  of  trade  marks;  sale  within
 6    geographical  area;  delivery  to  authorized  persons.   The
 7    Legislature  hereby  finds  and declares that for purposes of
 8    ensuring  the  preservation  and  enhancement  of  interbrand
 9    competition in  the  alcoholic  liquor  industry  within  the
10    State,   ensuring   that   importation  and  distribution  of
11    alcoholic liquor in the State will be subject to thorough and
12    inexpensive monitoring by the State, reducing the importation
13    of illicit  or  untaxed  alcoholic  liquor  into  the  State,
14    excluding  misbranded  alcoholic  liquor  products  from  the
15    State,  providing  incentives  to distributors to service and
16    sell to larger numbers of retail licensees in the  geographic
17    area  where  such  distributors  are engaged in business, and
18    reducing the amount of spoiled and overaged alcoholic  liquor
19    products  sold  to consumers, it is necessary to restrict the
20    purchase of alcoholic liquors at wholesale in  the  State  to
21    those  persons  selected  by  the  manufacturer, distributor,
22    importing  distributor  or  foreign  importer  who  owns   or
23    controls  the  trade  mark,  brand  or  name of the alcoholic
24    liquor products sold to such persons,  and  to  restrict  the
25    geographic  area or areas within which such persons sell such
26    alcoholic liquor at wholesale, as provided in this Section.
27        Each  manufacturer,  non-resident  dealer,   distributor,
28    importing  distributor,  or  foreign  importer  who  owns  or
29    controls  the  trade  mark,  brand  or  name of any alcoholic
30    liquor shall register  with  the  State  Commission,  in  the
31    Chicago  office, on or before the effective date, the name of
32    each person to whom such manufacturer,  non-resident  dealer,
33    distributor,   importing  distributor,  or  foreign  importer
                            -3-            LRB9009516LDdvam06
 1    grants the right to sell at wholesale in this State any  such
 2    alcoholic liquor, specifying the particular trade mark, brand
 3    or  name  of  alcoholic  liquor  as  to  which  such right is
 4    granted, the geographical area or areas for which such  right
 5    is  granted  and the period of time for which such rights are
 6    granted  to  such  person.  Each  manufacturer,  non-resident
 7    dealer, distributor  or  importing  distributor,  or  foreign
 8    importer  who is required to register under this Section must
 9    furnish a copy of the registration statement at the  time  of
10    appointment  to  the person who has been granted the right to
11    sell  alcoholic  liquor  at  wholesale.  Such   manufacturer,
12    non-resident  dealer,  distributor, importing distributor, or
13    foreign importer may grant the right to sell at wholesale any
14    trade mark, brand or name of  any  alcoholic  liquor  in  any
15    geographical   area   to   more   than  one  person.  If  the
16    registration  is  received  after  the  effective  date,  the
17    Commission shall treat the date the registration was received
18    in  the  Chicago  office  as  the   effective   date.    Such
19    registration  shall be made on a form prescribed by the State
20    Commission  and  the  State  Commission  may   require   such
21    registration  to  be  on  a  form  provided  by  it.  No such
22    registration shall be made by any  other  person  or  in  any
23    other  manner  than  as  is provided in this Section and only
24    those persons registered by  the  manufacturer,  non-resident
25    dealer,   distributor,   importing   distributor  or  foreign
26    importer, shall have the right to sell at wholesale  in  this
27    State,  the  brand  of  alcoholic  liquor  specified  on  the
28    registration form.
29        However, a licensed Illinois distributor who has not been
30    registered  to  sell  a  brand of alcoholic liquor, but for a
31    period of 2 years prior to November 8, 1979 has been  engaged
32    in  the  purchase  of  a  brand  for  resale  from a licensed
33    Illinois distributor who has the right to sell that brand  at
34    wholesale,  may  continue to purchase and resell the brand at
                            -4-            LRB9009516LDdvam06
 1    wholesale, and may purchase from  the  same  distributor  and
 2    resell  at wholesale any new brands of the same manufacturer,
 3    provided that:
 4             (1)  Within  60  days  after  November  8,  1979  he
 5        identifies the brand which he so purchased to  the  State
 6        Commission  and  the Commission within 30 days thereafter
 7        verifies that the purchases have occurred;
 8             (2)  Thereafter, he notifies the State Commission in
 9        writing of any brands of the same manufacturer  which  he
10        wishes  to  purchase  from the same distributor that were
11        not available for distribution on or before  November  8,
12        1979,  and  that  the  Commission  within 30 days of such
13        notification verifies that the brand is a  new  brand  of
14        the   same  manufacturer,  and  that  the  same  licensed
15        Illinois distributor has the right to sell the new  brand
16        at wholesale;
17             (3)  His  licensed  business  address  is within the
18        geographical  area  for  which  the   licensed   Illinois
19        distributor  from  whom  the  purchases  are made has the
20        right to sell said brand or brands of  alcoholic  liquor;
21        and
22             (4)  His sales are made within the geographical area
23        for which the licensed Illinois distributor from whom the
24        purchases  are  made  has  the right to sell the brand or
25        brands of alcoholic liquor and only to  retail  licensees
26        whose   licensed   premises   are   located   within  the
27        aforementioned geographical area.
28        No person to whom such right is  granted  shall  sell  at
29    wholesale  in  this  State  any alcoholic liquor bearing such
30    trade mark, brand or name outside of  the  geographical  area
31    for which such person holds such selling right, as registered
32    with  the  State Commission, nor shall he sell such alcoholic
33    liquor within such geographical area to a retail licensee  if
34    the premises specified in such retailer's license are located
                            -5-            LRB9009516LDdvam06
 1    outside   such   geographical  area.  Any  licensed  Illinois
 2    distributor who has not been granted the right  to  sell  any
 3    alcoholic  liquor  at  wholesale  and is purchasing alcoholic
 4    liquor from a person who has been granted the right  to  sell
 5    at  wholesale  may  sell and deliver only to retail licensees
 6    whose licensed premises are within the same geographical area
 7    as the person who has been  granted  the  right  to  sell  at
 8    wholesale.
 9        No   manufacturer,  importing  distributor,  distributor,
10    non-resident  dealer,  or  foreign  importer  shall  sell  or
11    deliver any package containing alcoholic liquor  manufactured
12    or  distributed  by him for resale, unless the person to whom
13    such package is sold or delivered is  authorized  to  receive
14    such package in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
