Supreme Court to Decide If Trump Insult Can Be Trademarked
[Epoch Times] The expression "Trump Too Small" was inspired by a crude joke that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) made during the 2016 Republican presidential primary season. Then-presidential candidate Rubio mocked fellow candidate Trump by saying he had "small hands."The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled in August 2022 that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) was wrong to deny the trademark application of progressive activist and lawyer Steve Elster for "Trump Too Small." The Supreme Court decided on June 5 to consider whether a progressive can trademark a belittling phrase targeting former President Donald Trump for use on T-shirts. The ruling puts the administration of President Joe Biden, a Democrat, in the unusual position of defending the interests of Trump. Posted by: Bobby 2023-06-06 |
