Supreme Court Rejects California Lawyer's 'Trump Too Small' Trademark Bid
Jun 13, 2024, 02:26 PM
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against a California lawyer seeking to trademark the phrase 'Trump Too Small,' an irreverent criticism of former President Donald Trump. The Court held that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office did not violate the First Amendment by refusing to register the trademark. The decision, part of the case Vidal v. Elster, concluded that a trademark for a living person's name cannot be registered without their consent. The ruling highlights the complexities of balancing trademark law and free speech rights. The phrase 'Trump Too Small' references a joke made during a presidential debate in 2020.
