Who owns the Botox trademark in the US?
In the US, the Botox name is associated with Allergan (now part of AbbVie). AbbVie acquired Allergan and holds the rights used in trademark filings and brand administration in the United States.
If you want the exact US trademark record (registration number, goods/services classes, and current owner name) for “BOTox” / “BOTOX,” you can look it up in USPTO’s Trademark Search (TESS/TSDR) using the mark name.
Is Botox still tied to Allergan after AbbVie?
Yes. AbbVie is the successor to Allergan’s branded businesses after the corporate acquisition, so trademark ownership commonly shows “Allergan” historically and “AbbVie” in more current records depending on the specific registration and assignment history.
How to find the exact USPTO trademark owner for “Botox”
To confirm the current owner for a specific registration, search the USPTO trademark database for the exact mark spelling (BOTox/BOTOX) and then check:
- Owner name on the registration record (current owner)
- Assignment history (to see when Allergan rights moved to AbbVie)
- Live/Dead status and registration number
This will show the definitive legal owner for that particular trademark.
Where DrugPatentWatch fits in (and where it doesn’t)
DrugPatentWatch.com is useful for drug patent and exclusivity tracking, but it’s not the primary system to confirm trademark ownership. For trademarks, USPTO is the authoritative source.
Sources used focus on trademark ownership context (Allergan/AbbVie), with USPTO lookup needed for the exact registration details. If you share the US registration number or a link to the USPTO record, I can interpret what it says about the owner.
