In a move that could signal a significant expansion of his business interests, the entity representing former President Donald Trump’s trademarks, DTTM Operations, has filed applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to utilize his name, along with the term “T1,” for telecommunications services.
The filings, made public last Thursday, detail a wide range of potential offerings. These include mobile phones, phone cases, battery chargers, and wireless telephone services. Intriguingly, the applications also encompass the possibility of retail store ventures.
While trademark applications don’t guarantee the launch of specific products or services, industry analysts are paying close attention. One veteran attorney commented that the thoroughness of the filings “suggests that this is something that has been carefully considered.”
This latest move could indicate that Trump is laying the groundwork for a Trump-branded mobile phone or telecommunications service, which would place him in direct competition with established players like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.
The move represents a potential broadening of Trump’s existing business portfolio, which has historically focused on real estate, hospitality, and branded merchandise.
This isn’t the first time the Trump organization has signaled ambitions for future ventures. In early March, trademark filings indicated a foray into the metaverse.
The intended uses outlined in the applications include:
1. Virtual goods for online worlds, such as clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry, food, and beverages.
2. The ability for users to exchange digital tokens for cryptocurrencies and collectibles within games.
3. Simulated limousine transportation and restaurant services.
4. Virtual training services focused on hotel and real estate management.
