Trump's Truth Social platform had its trademark application rejected because its name wasn't unique enough

Among the patent office's concerns was that Truth Social's name bore the"same dominant feature" — the word"Truth" — as the Truth Network. In relation to Vero — True Social, the patent office wrote that the"dominant wording TRUTH and TRUE communicate the same idea of being honest or emphasizing fact while networking socially."

"Moreover, both marks also contain the wording SOCIAL meaning they look and sound similar generally outside of a small variation of TRUTH," read the filing. "Because the marks are similar and the goods and services are related, there is a likelihood of confusion as to the source of applicant's goods and services, and registration is refused pursuant to Section 2 of the Trademark Act," the filing concluded. This is not the first setback Trump's social media platform has faced.
