THE Valley star Brittany Cartwright is the sole owner of the trademark for Mamaw's Beer Cheese, which the pair created for Jax's Bar in Los Angeles.
Kentucky native Brittany first introduced cast members and fans of the show to her Southern classic dip on Vanderpump Rules.
Back in December 2018, she revealed on the show that her grandmother had been selling beer cheese for years and that she and Jax wanted to launch it as a business.
An Instagram page was set up for the company but still only has three posts, the last shared in 2019.
The bio still reads, "The rumors are true, we are in the kitchen workin’ to bring Beer Cheese from our home to you! Coming Soon!"
Now, The U.S. Sun can exclusively confirm an official trademark is pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Interestingly, it is only in Brittany's name, which shows she could take the business to new heights on her own.
The notice of allowance date is listed as July 16, 2024.
"A pending trademark application has been examined by the Office and has been published in a way that provides an opportunity for the public to oppose its registration," the filing reads.
ANDY'S APPROVAL
Brittany is listed as the individual owner of the trademark with an address listed as an office in Hollywood.
The pair previously filed a trademark for the cheese back in 2019, but appear to have abandoned it in 2022 before refiling.
Brittany filed the second time with "intent to use" as she appears to be holding on to the name before the business finally gets off the ground.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Brittany's rep for comment.
Andy Cohen previously gushed about the product after tasting it on his show when Brittany brought him a sample.
In a video shared on Instagram, he joked "Mamaw, it's the grandson you didn't know you have.
"I've got to tell you something: I love your beer cheese. It's amazing! It needs to be everywhere!"
In August last year, the former couple announced their bar, and shortly after revealed they would be adding Mamaw's Beer Cheese to the menu for diners.
In an Instagram Story, Brittany wrote, "Mamaw's beer cheese is finally here!!", tagging Jax's Studio City.
She and Jax can be seen in the pic smiling behind the bar while posing alongside a plate of vegetables and chips with the dip in the center of the snack plate.
Brittany announced her divorce from Jax earlier this year, but the former couple continue to work together.
They upload separate episodes of their podcast on the same channel, and still jointly run their sports bar.
NEW BAR
Earlier this month, Brittany revealed she's opening a bar of her own, named Britt's.
She shared on their podcast this month, "I'm going to have my own bar in West Hollywood right across from where I started at SUR. TomTom is three doors down from me. It's in the best location ever.”
Surprisingly, Jax has revealed he will be a "silent partner" in Brittany's business.
During an episode of Bravo's Hot Mic podcast this week, he said, "
"My partners came up to me probably four weeks ago and said, 'Hey Jax, what do you think of us opening up a bar called Britt's?
"This was all during the thick of it, and they go, 'Listen, we understand what's going on with you, with the divorce, if you say no, we won't do it, why don't you sleep on it and let me know.'
"From a financial standpoint I thought why not, you know. But there's gonna be some strings, I'm going to be an investor, I'm going to be the quote on quote 'silent partner'.
"I'm going to let her design it, she can have her say, but I will be having a stake in it. It's under my title, Jax Taylor Inc."
Producer Alex Baskin joked, "What could possibly go wrong?"
Jax insisted Brittany was really happy with the news and it was revealed during a week when they were getting on.
He said he told her, "I'm letting you have a bar with my business partners, like, you're getting a golden opportunity here," adding that she won't have to put a dime into it.
Jax then bragged, "I made this happen for you. Cut me a little slack here ... and then it goes back to me being an awful, selfish person."
He then admitted his involvement in the project "probably hasn't sunk in yet" for his ex, adding, "Trust me, I'm going to make her very aware. You know that."
Jax also revealed, "We're hoping to open another restaurant soon, one in Nashville, one in Florida.
"The podcast is doing really well, I'm starting another podcast, In The Mind of a Man, I'm hoping to build on that, hopefully kind of follow in the footsteps of Stassi [Schroeder] and go on a tour with it."
