Supreme Court to Decide Trump's 'Too Small' Trademark Dispute.

The Supreme Court will decide whether a California lawyer can trademark the phrase "Trump too small," which was rejected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2018 on the grounds that it required the written approval of then-President Donald Trump. The phrase is a double-entendre meant to insinuate a correspondingly small penis. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled against the trademark office in February 2022, saying the denial violated the lawyer's free speech rights under the Constitution's First Amendment. The Supreme Court has endorsed free speech rights in the trademark context in recent years, suggesting the lawyer could have a chance of prevailing in the case.
