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.

What makes you think the DoD is not 100% political? Anyone who put country before party was washed out during the Obama administration.
Yes, true of senior leadership. Clean out every flag officer, many O-5s & O-6s, every civilian SES & GS-13+, and all political appointees.
Similar to getting an Occupational License, you do a fictitious name search first to make sure no one's already using it as a company name already. Starting a company and need a trademarked name? Get that first. This is basic stuff.

TS Android app still not released. How can that be after years? TS is based on Mastadon software and there's an app for it. While that app might not work for TS's fork of Mastadon, it shows that writing an android app is 100% doable and it shouldn't take 2+ years. The TS project has just been a cluster from top to bottom and start to ............ well, someday it might be finished.
The sniffer and his goons aren’t ‘fair’ people. Not surprised.
Pelosi or some high-rank democrat will steal it and get it approved.
They didn’t close Trump Tower or any other Trump enterprises.
I don’t understand why they would do that with this- especially since it will have to be placed in a blind trust.
