The US Supreme Court has rejected a political activist's attempt to trademark the phrase "Trump Too Small," saying the federal trademark office did not violate the First Amendment when it declined to register the mark.Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the majority opinion for a unanimous court."Our courts have long recognised that trademarks containing names may be restricted. And these name restrictions served established principles. This history and tradition is sufficient to conclude that the names clause — a content-based, but viewpoint-neutral, trademark restriction — is compatible with the First Amendment," Thomas wrote, referring to a provision of the federal trademark law at issue in the case.
