Angel Reese Strengthens Her Brand With Official Trademark Recognition
Angel Reese has taken a major step in her career by trademarking her name. The United States Patent and Trademark Office officially granted her request on October 28. The trademark was filed through her own company, Angel Reese LLC, marking a new level of ownership in her brand and image.
This move gives Reese full rights to use her name for business, products, and media ventures. It also strengthens her control over how her name and likeness are represented. She now joins a growing list of athletes who are protecting their personal brands through legal ownership.
From ‘Bayou Barbie’ to WNBA All-Star and Businesswoman
Reese’s journey to this moment has been full of determination and growth. She first gained attention at LSU, where her “Bayou Barbie” persona captured fans and reshaped the culture of women’s college basketball. After becoming a WNBA All-Star with the Chicago Sky, she continued to expand her influence beyond the court.
Her success as both an athlete and entrepreneur shows how she has built her name into more than just a sports brand. It reflects her ability to balance performance and business, proving that she’s as strategic in her career as she is on the court.
Trademarking Her Future With “Mebounds” and More Ventures
This isn’t the first time Reese has explored trademarks. She also filed to trademark the phrase “Mebounds,” which fans often associate with her record-breaking rebounding skills. While the phrase is still pending approval, it shows how intentional she is about securing her future brand assets.
“Whoever came up with the ‘Mebounds’ thing, y’all ate that up … anything that comes off that board, it’s mine,” Reese once said in a TikTok post. Her words reflect not only her confidence but also her awareness of how to turn her athletic identity into long-term business value.
Expanding Her Influence Beyond Basketball
Reese already has several partnerships with major brands, including Reebok and Cash App. She’s also made appearances in fashion and media, from sold-out shoe collections to high-profile runway moments. Now, with her trademark secured, she can extend her name into apparel, accessories, and future creative projects.
At only 23 years old, Reese continues to show that her story goes beyond basketball. She is setting herself up to own every part of her image and legacy, turning her passion, confidence, and vision into a sustainable empire.
