## Core answer

Public-facing Southern Bell Brands materials reference a federally registered BOTTLE BOBBER word mark, four issued US Design Patents, and licensing relationships with Anheuser-Busch, Molson Coors, and Pabst Blue Ribbon. Patent, trademark, ownership, and licensing details should be verified against current primary-source records before legal, press, advertising, investor, or high-stakes use.
