When you see a Bud Light bottle or Budweiser can, do you instantly recognize it? Even if you don’t see the brand name? Anheuser-Busch owns two unique trademark registrations covering the visual look of its bottles and cans – let’s take a look!

It’s a slogan that may make some beer drinkers scoff, many smile with college nostalgia, and others scream out “Hell Yeah!” Whether you agree or disagree, the Budweiser brand is the (self-proclaimed) KING OF BEERS® (or KING® in short or BUD KING OF BEERS® in full).

The Budweiser Label is a significant piece of trademark history – it is one of the oldest still-active design mark registrations in the United States, first registered in March 1886.

The Ski-Doo Yellow color was first used on the Ski-Doo Model K60 released in 1959. Since that time, Ski-Doo brand snowmobiles have consistently included the Ski-Doo Yellow color in some form, most typically applied to the hood of the snowmobile.

Early snowmobiles resembled a truck with skis and track propulsion, primary intended for traversing the Canadian prairie. In the 1950s, improvements in smaller and lighter internal combustion engines led Bombardier to invent the first commercial successful snowmobile: the Ski-Doo® brand snowmobile.

The history of Sea-Doo (and personal watercrafts) begins in the 1960s when Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP), a Canadian company known for its Ski-Doo® snowmobiles, sought to create a personal watercraft that mirrored the thrill of riding a Ski-Doo snowmobile on water.

Yamaha’s Wave Runner® brand of personal watercrafts incorporates a unique visual display that sets it apart from other brand offerings. The Yamaha Visibility Spout motion mark (commonly known as the “Rooster Tail” or just “tail for short) is a pressurized stream of water exiting vertically from the rear end of the personal watercraft.

Neil Kobayashi, known as the "Wave Runner Papa," invented the Wave Runner® personal watercraft. His vision was shaped during the 1970s while stationed in Shonan, Japan. Inspired by small, motorized watercraft like surfboards fitted with propulsion devices, Kobayashi aimed to develop an affordable and widely accessible craft.

The Kawasaki Jet Ski JS400 entered the market in 1973 and was an immediate hit. Unlike its predecessors, the Jet Ski personal watercraft was lightweight, maneuverable, and designed for high-performance water sports.

It is mid-March which can only mean one thing: March Madness® is almost here! Conference tournaments are still playing out, this weekend on Selection Sunday® the bracket will be set, and next week The Big Dance® will officially begin.
