About Marlboro (United States)
Marlboro is the principal cigarette brand of Philip Morris USA, Altria's wholly owned subsidiary, and has been the largest-selling cigarette brand in the United States for more than 50 years. Under the 2008 intellectual-property agreement signed when Philip Morris International split from Altria, Philip Morris USA owns the Marlboro trademark within the United States, while PMI owns it everywhere else in the world — two separate ownerships of the same name, not one global owner.
