BIAS? U.S. Patent And Trademark Office Rejects Trump’s Truth Social Trademark Application
GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 8/27/2022 | protrumpnews staff

Here we go again.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has denied Trump’s request to trademark the name Truth Social.

CBS News reported:

"A U.S. government agency has rejected a trademark application by Donald Trump’s Truth Social because the social network’s name isn’t unique enough.

In a filing from August 2, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office said Truth Social’s name is too similar to other businesses, which could cause consumers to be “confused, mistaken or deceived as to the commercial source of the goods and/or services of the parties.”"

The reason cited is that the name is not unique enough and is similar to other businesses.

The examples of similar companies that were given are Vero – True Social and the Truth Network.

The Daily Mail reported:

The patent office said the name of the company was too similar to Vero – True Social, an app-based social media platform, and the Truth Network, a Christian radio broadcast network.

They wrote in their filing that ‘the dominant wording TRUTH and TRUE communicate the same idea of being honest or emphasizing fact while networking socially’.

Trademark attorney Josh Gerben explained more about the application rejection.

They’re coming for his overdue books!

He didn’t get pre-approval to paint his shed?

His new roof is not in keeping with the rustlc aesthetic of the Village?

He’s missing a mattress tag?

He taped an episode of Bonanza without expressed written consent on his Beta player?

Except for the DoD, cut every department, agency, administration budget by 85%, then quickly eliminate most of them.

The DC bureaucrats rigged the 2020 "election" and the 2020 Decennial Census.

What's a little thing like a trademark application?

Trademarks are probably THE most important issue when starting a new business. Fonts, colors, graphics are all part of a trademark. One idiot company in Silicon Valley called themselves "Jedi " way after Star Wars came out. The reason this is important is all the company documents are stamped with the trademarked logo. You change the logo, it will cost you millions to regenerate all the paperwork.

More political corruption. Who in their life has ever heard of anything else called “Truth Social”? Many possible problems could arise for Truth Social because of this. And the deep state is already planning them out.

I don’t get this. I’ve applied for and gotten a half-dozen trademarks, and always before I launched a business.

Just checked USPTO.gov. The three patent applications for “truth social” are all listed as live. That means they have not been rejected.
