TL;DR Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in a case involving the intersection of trademark law and free speech rights. The case revolves around a trademark application for the phrase "Trump Too Small," which mocks former President Donald Trump. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office denied the application, citing a 1946 federal law that bars trademarks featuring a person's name without consent. However, a lower court reversed the decision, citing First Amendment free speech protections. The Supreme Court will now determine whether criticism of public figures outweighs trademark concerns.
