☆ US Supreme Court to determine legality of 'Trump Too Small' trademark

The justices are set to hear arguments in the agency's appeal of a lower court's decision that reversed its denial of attorney Steve Elster's trademark application for "Trump Too Small" - an irreverent criticism of former President Donald Trump - to use on T-shirts. Elster applied for the trademark in 2018, invoking an exchange between Trump and U.S. Elster said that "Trump Too Small" expressed his opinion about "the smallness of Donald Trump's overall approach to governing." The trademark office rejected Elster's application based on a 1946 federal law that bans the use of a person's name in a trademark without their permission. The Supreme Court in recent years has struck down two trademark laws, citing free speech concerns.

The Supreme Court in recent years has struck down two trademark laws based on free speech concerns. Elster applied for the "Trump Too Small" trademark to use on T-shirts, inspired by an exchange between Trump and U.S. Rubio responded at a campaign rally in Virginia that his rival had disproportionately small hands. Are they small hands?" Ernst also said the law at issue does not further the overarching trademark law goal of preventing marketplace confusion.

The Supreme Court in recent years has struck down two trademark laws based on free speech concerns. Elster applied for the "Trump Too Small" trademark to use on T-shirts, inspired by an exchange between Trump and U.S. Elster told the Supreme Court that his trademark uses a double meaning to criticize Trump while expressing his views about "the smallness of Donald Trump's overall approach to governing." Ernst also said the law at issue does not further the overarching trademark law goal of preventing marketplace confusion. "Nobody would be confused into believing that Donald Trump is selling T-shirts accusing him of being too small," Ernst said.

☆ US Supreme Court takes up dispute over 'Trump Too Small' trademark

FollowWASHINGTON, June 5 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday agreed to consider whether a California attorney's federal trademark for the phrase "Trump Too Small" - a cheeky criticism of former President Donald Trump - should have been granted. Elster applied for the "Trump Too Small" trademark in 2018 to use on shirts. Trump and Rubio, a senator from Florida, were rivals for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination - a prize eventually won by the businessman-turned-politician. "And you know what they say about guys with small hands," Rubio said as the audience laughed. Are they small hands?
