Angel Reese Goes From Court Star to Business Mogul: Name Now Officially Trademarked
Angel Reese is no longer just a dominant force on the basketball court—she’s officially staking her claim as a business powerhouse, and the WNBA is taking notice… The Chicago Sky forward, known for her relentless rebounding and fearless play, has now added a major milestone to her growing empire: her name, Angel Reese, is officially trademarked.
This move comes after a 2025 season that, despite Reese’s impressive averages of 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, saw the Sky struggle with a 10-34 record and miss the playoffs for the second consecutive year. Yet while the team faltered, Reese’s personal brand skyrocketed. From turning heads on the runway at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show to hosting her podcast Unapologetically Angel, and even launching her debut signature shoe with Reebok—the Angel Reese 1—she has been methodically building a platform far beyond the hardwood.
Earlier this year, Reese founded Angel Reese LLC, a company designed to oversee her image, merchandise, and intellectual property. The company had already secured trademarks for key phrases such as Unapologetically Angel, Reesebounds, and Mebounds. But nothing solidifies a personal brand quite like owning your own name. On October 28, 2025, according to Heitner Legal, P.L.L.C., Reese officially became ANGEL REESE®—a move announced via social media that immediately sent shockwaves through both sports and business circles.
“From the court to the trademark office,” Reese wrote alongside the announcement. “@Reese10Angel is building an empire, one registration at a time. #TrademarkTuesday.” The post reflects her growing confidence in defining not just who she is as a player, but who she is as an entrepreneur.
Trademarking her name is more than a symbolic gesture—it’s a strategic move in a career that’s as much about business as basketball. With Angel Reese LLC, she now controls her image, merchandise, and intellectual property, giving her the freedom to expand into fashion, media, endorsements, and beyond. This step ensures that every venture she undertakes is protected under her brand, creating a long-term legacy that extends well past her playing days.
Still, Reese hasn’t lost sight of her on-court ambitions. With two more seasons left under contract with Chicago, she has been vocal about her expectations for the team. “I am very vocal about what we need and what I want,” she said in September. “I’d like to be here for my career, but if things don’t pan out, obviously I might have to move in a different direction and do what’s best for me.”
Her approach reflects the new era of WNBA athletes who refuse to be defined solely by their statistics. Reese is building an identity that blends dominance on the court with influence off it—proof that success in professional sports now requires a savvy combination of performance, personal branding, and business acumen.
By legally protecting her name, Reese has set a precedent for WNBA players and athletes in general: owning your narrative is just as critical as owning the scoreboard. For Angel Reese, championships aren’t measured solely in points or rebounds—they’re measured in milestones like this, every step a deliberate move toward empire-building.
As the WNBA continues to grow in visibility and influence, Reese stands at the forefront, proving that her career is about more than games won—it’s about legacy secured. From dominating courts to dominating the trademark office, Angel Reese is showing the world that true greatness spans far beyond the final buzzer.
