Donald Trump might be planning to launch a mobile network and a Trump-branded phone. DTTM Operations LLC, the company Trump uses to manage his trademarks, has applied to use both \u201cTrump\u201d and \u201cT1\u201d for telecoms, mobile accessories, and even phones themselves.<\/p>\n

The applications, filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office<\/a> last Thursday, cover wireless phone services, mobile phones, cases, and chargers, plus retail stores to sell them all.<\/p>\n

A trademark application doesn\u2019t guarantee that a Trump mobile network is about to launch, but it does signal intent. \u201cThe specificity of the applications points to serious consideration,\u201d patent attorney Josh Gerben wrote in a blog post<\/a> on Friday, noting that as part of the filing a lawyer for Trump will have \u201csigned a sworn declaration affirming the company\u2019s genuine plans to bring these goods and services to market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump launching a mobile network could have complications. For one, Gerben points out that T-Mobile might have a thing or two to say about the application, since \u201cT1\u201d could infringe on its own trademarks. That\u2019s before we get to the question of how FCC chairman Brendan Carr<\/a> will handle regulating a network owned by his boss.<\/p>\n

Trump isn\u2019t the only public figure with his sights set on telecoms. While Ryan Reynolds has gotten out after selling his stake in Mint Mobile to T-Mobile<\/a> in 2023, just last week saw the launch of SmartLess Mobile<\/a>, brought to you by the podcast of the same name hosted by Hollywood stars Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
