TRUMP TRIES TO TRADEMARK the word telerally. The holding company for Trumps 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 didnt respond to requests for comment.
