A small payment should take care of this.

I’m sure the same crowd went nuts when Facebook stole the logo from another company for their new meta or whatever they’re called

If the logo needs to be changed now is the time to do it. Most folks have no clue what it looks like.

The “T” seems to be based off a letter in the Masonic alphabet. I don’t think you can put a trademark on that.

It’s a ‘T’. Easy enough to change, but yeesh!

Small company looking to get a cheesy payout.

The logo absolutely went through tons of lawyers and likely got US approval as a trademark itself.

International business law may be an issue but easily resolved, hardly at a state where the company can claim undue harm or a benefit to trumps platform.

Has barely released yet and shown no profits to report. The British company should have waited until this thing really took off. Once again i suspect ideology was more the issue, they missed out on a rela payout if they just would have waited.

You would think that someone would have at least done a reverse-lookup image search first...

You couldn’t pay for the kind of publicity the biased media is giving to this app. They don’t even realize it because they are blinded by ideology.

I think if they didn’t file for a trademark in US, they can pound sand.

One is a T

The other is a T. (T period)

That’s like saying T is the same as Tz

FAKE headline: they logos are not identical.
(But maybe one of them is racist, and homophobic? LOL)

The two companies are in two totally different industries. That means the odds that a trademark violation claim would succeed are very remote. And Truth Social could easily just buy the British company.

News “reporters” spend far too much time digging around to find dirt on Trump, and zero time investigating deaths caused by the vax.

Trademark infringement requires (at least) two things:

1. Identity or similarity of the marks; and

2. Identity or similarity of the good/services the mark is registered for (there are 45 “classes” of goods and services)

to a degree that the consumer would confuse the provenance of the goods/services of the one company for the other.

Not likely here, is it?

It’s a different logo, so I doubt they’ll sue because they wouldn’t win. But if they make a stink it’s free publicity for their company from all the Trump-hating media.

Trump needn’t worry about a thing. Totally different classes. Likelihood of confusion is minimal, if at all.
