Historical records show that on September 30, 1969, Queen Elizabeth II granted the Stakliskes factory Lietuviskas Midus with the patent number 1280830 making it the sole producer of this drink.

Hmmm. The title of GB 1280830 is "REGISTRATION PLATE HOLDERS FOR ROAD VEHICLES". Also patents are granted by the Patent Office, not the Queen. Lastly, if there had been a patent granted back in 1969, it would have expired in 1989 at the latest, so this company cannot currently be a patent holder (as per the second paragraph). Never mind that a GB patent has no effect outside of GB.

Someone's been imbibing too much mead...
