Trademarking "telerally?"
TRUMP TRIES TO TRADEMARK the word “ telerally.” The holding company for Trump’s business trademarks has filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which, if approved, would allow President Trump use and licensing rights to the term, which would refer to large campaign supporter conference calls. But it could be an uphill battle: The USPTO recently denied a trademark for the word “telemedicine,” noting that it was “merely descriptive” and a generic term for services. It is unlikely the application would be resolved before the election, with the USPTO review currently taking around eight to 10 months, according to trademark lawyer Josh Gerben. The Trump campaign didn’t respond to requests for comment.
