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.
