An Ivanka Trump Trademark For Voting Machines Was Approved By China -- Here's What That Means

[yortsed snacilbuper]

It's unclear why Ivanka wanted to trademark voting machines and sausage casings, items that are obviously very much outside the fashion world. And it's not the first time her business has applied for trademarks on fashion-parallel items. According to the Chicago Tribune, Ivanka Trump Marks LLC also applied for at least 14 new trademarks in China in March of 2017, right before she publicly announced her White House advisor role. The 2017 applications ask for trademark rights on more non-fashion things like real estate and financial services, construction, and furniture. In any case, if Ivanka has the trademarks, it allows her business the freedom down the line to expand beyond fashion in China.

Trademarks in China can offer crucial protection to businesses that may otherwise be vulnerable to infringement or theft. China, the world's second-largest economy after the United States, has said its trademark approvals are fair, the Chicago Tribune reported, while Ivanka's brand has said the 2017 Chinese trademarks were filed preventatively to deflect squatters from using her name.

1. Well, it's all fine as long as

she ensures that they are PRETTY voting machines. This year's newest colors and everything. And the accessories?? Oh, it could be just wonderful!

Let's just hope that they make orange jumpsuits in her size.

2. Are trademarks for things you come up with yourself?

How did Ivanka come up with voting machines?

4. it's for a brand.

you can sell your own brand of treestar wheels, and you don't have to re-invent the wheel

you just have to be able to produce wheels without violating other people's intellectual property rights.
it *helps* to invent it yourself, or at least something about it, but that's neither necessary nor sufficient.

3. "if you like laws and sausages, you should never watch either being made".

given that old quote, it's quite apropos to see voting machines and sausage casings juxtaposed in this context....

6. Don't you think she is selling

her name to people so she can transfer the trademarks to them for even more money. For sure - trump sausage casings.
