re: #71 Backwoods_Sleuth

The “explanation” was given back when this was first reported: supposedly trump organization got the trademark to prevent anyone else from getting it.

In my best Tommy Flanagan voice: “Yeah, sure…that’s the ticket….”

In this case it is probably true. Apparently there was a non affiliated company that was operating as Trump Escorts that tried to capitalize on Trump’s candidacy. They were sent a cease and desist and changed their name to Mystique Companions. Because of China’s more or less first come first serve trademark policies they could still have trademarked the name in China.
