Beermaker Applies to Trademark “Brexit”

The maker of a beer named after one of America’s revolutionary leaders applied to trademark the name “Brexit” one day after the British vote to exit the European Union. 

The Boston Beer Company makes Samuel Adams beer and Angry Orchard hard cider. The company’s trademark application was filed on intent-to-use-basis, and is for hard cider. 

But the Boston Beer Company wasn’t the only one to file for a trademark on “Brexit.” A Chicago resident filed to use the name on clothing and a Colorado company filed to use the trademark on dietary and nutritional supplements.
