Donald Trump, the future leader of the free world, and his affiliated companies have obtained a number of trademarks in the UK to safeguard the “Trump” brand in a variety of industries. These trademarks, which represent the variety of his business endeavours, include consumer goods, real estate, and hospitality.
Key UK Trademarks Owned by Donald Trump:
- “TRUMP”: The surname “Trump” is a prominent trademark used across multiple sectors, including real estate developments, hotels, golf courses, and consumer products. This mark is central to the branding of his business empire.
- “TRUMP INTERNATIONAL GOLF CLUB”: This trademark pertains to golf courses and related services, highlighting Trump’s involvement in the golfing industry.
- “TRUMP TURNBERRY”: Associated with the luxury golf resort in Scotland, this trademark covers hospitality and leisure services.
- “TRUMP HOME”: Used for a line of home furnishings and décor, this trademark extends the Trump brand into consumer goods.
In June 2024, after a legal battle over products sold at Trump’s golf resorts in Scotland, a businessman was given the legal right to use the “Trump” name on condoms. The businessman was allowed to use the trademark for condoms, but not for alcoholic beverages, according to the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), because this could lead consumers to believe that Trump supports them.
These instances highlight the ongoing legal efforts to protect and control the use of the “Trump” name in various commercial contexts within the UK.
