EXC: The Trump Org has lost its exclusive rights to one of its prized assets - the Trump name - for real estate development & golf accessories after an EU ruling. Filings by its attorneys show a sharp fall in golf biz at POTUS's Turnberry resort. Thread

Scotland on Sunday has learned that an official European Union agency has issued a series of far-reaching decisions which experts believe will impact on the Trump Organisation’s ability to enforce its rights over numerous products and services associated with the Trump brand.

The decisions could potentially open the door for any other third party to use - and monetise - the Trump name in Europe for the likes of golf equipment, and the construction, management and sale of commercial and residential properties.

One leading intellectual property expert said if a slew of other Trump trademarks currently being challenged were revoked, it would amount to “a significant restriction of its registered rights in the European Union.”

Omg. That would be hilarious!!

1. Being backed by nothing

3. "prized assets - the Trump name"

In this day and age it is a rather large stretch to call the Trump name an asset, much less a prized asset.

6. Exactly.

14. I remember reading that he values the name as a $3 Billion asset.

Which brings his total unencumbered assets to approximately $3.005 Billion.

Who would want to attach that accursed name to anything these days?

Although I suppose "TRUMP SUPPOSITORIES" has kind of a ring to it.

17. Pondering your post ...

I can only come up with Trump toilet paper as a valuable Trump product. Truly a branding opportunity for the Trump organization.

8. I'm going to open a "Trump toxic waste site and brothel"

In every major European city.

9. wouldn't that be a trump dump?

11. Hope you haven't trademarked that.....

12. He owns a couple of toxic waste sites here in the US. No joke.

[Ilsa]

13. Become a manufacturer of Trump Urinal Cakes.

10. This is Huuuuuuge.

Bet some Bankers are pooping dynamite sticks after this ruling. That would indicate the Name has zero monetized value which is often used as a asset in securing loans.

No wonder the Orange Anus selected Florida as his domicile. At least he will be able to keep Mar-A-Turdville after his next Bankruptcy.

15. I hope someone begins marketing Trump Toilet Bowl Cleaner.

"It takes the orange rust away."
