All of the current B-K Rootbeer restaurants are independently owned and operated. The B-K Root Beer chain of drive-in restaurants became owned byDeNovo CorporationinLivonia, Michigan, of which David Chapoton was President. In the late 1980s, Dave sold the B-K trademarks toBurger KingCorporation, in which they then launched their new Grilled Chicken sandwich, the BK Broiler. In 2016, the B-K trademarks were abandoned by Burger King, and David Hosticka of Michigan retained the trademark & patent attorney Jake W. Lombardo of Bolhouse, Baar & Hofstee, P.C. and attempted to re-register the B-K Root Beer trademarks for the purpose of supporting the 35 or so remaining drive-in locations, and possibly reviving the B-K Root Beer brand. The application was rejected by the US Patent and Trademark office, citing that the letters B-K are still currently registered by Burger King Corporation. Made in the United States, this mug is a true piece of Americana history. Perfect for display or use, it's a great way to show off your love for vintage soda advertising.
