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

Posted on 08/27/2022 12:56:46 PM PDT by bitt

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.

And the idiots didn’t do a search and get the name registered before going public? This is on them, even if the PTO is being biased.

It can take years to get a trademark. You don’t wait for approval and then start running your business. They are not stupid. They are doing it the right.

Nope, not yet, and they weren't either at first.

Many companies just use TM for trademark.

In a few years, the right to a circled R will be obtained.

Geez, the analyst who wrote that ruling at the U.S. Patent and Trademark office does not even know English language usage. The adjective “unique” does not have a comparative or a superlative degree. Something is either “unique” or it’s not unique. There is no such thing in correct English language as “more unique,” or “not unique enough.” English language knowledge and usage has declined steadily for two generations. Surely not all, but not a small number of generic-sounding phrases do get U.S. copyright protection. As someone has suggestion, he ought to use “Trump Social.”

Change it to Trump Social. Problems solved.

However...

When President Trump wins in 2024, they will use the emoluments clause to shut down Trump Social.

Even Stevie Wonder could see that most of Fedzilla hates president Trump.

“Can’t let Trump win the presidency again.” -
