For Those Who've Followed Our Eddy Grant Infringement/Filching Coverage... This Will Be ZERO Surprise...


We do not -- in any manner -- wish to encourage "exploration" by people of good will, over at what purports to be a Tangerine-sponsored alternate social media site/app he is calling "Truth Social". [So nope, we will be providing no links to it.]

Erh. . . Riiiiiight -- this must be where irony goes. . . to die.

But true to form, as in the filching of Eddy Grant's 1980s "Electric Avenue" hit (for his political smear of Joe Biden in the 2020 election cycle) -- Baby T. has apparently lifted his logo for that new "service". . . from a well-regarded U.K. solar power start up firm.

Y A W N.

That firm will recover damages from him, just as Eddy Grant will.

The name of the U.K. company is Trailar. See the comparison, at below right. Clearly Trailar is prior in time, and thus prior in right -- just as the REAL Lady A was/is. Here's a bit from the British papers -- The Guardian UK:

. . .It is unclear how many people were actually successful at getting on "Truth" Social -- although the Guardian has reported that at least one Catholic priest managed to join. The fact that you, apparently, needed God on your side to secure an account wasn’t the only issue with the launch: the app has also run into potential legal trouble.

It turns out Truth Social may not have just taken inspiration from Twitter, the app’s logo looks suspiciously like that of a British solar power startup called Trailar. “Great to see Donald Trump supporting a growing sustainability business!” Trailar tweeted on Monday. “Maybe ask next time?”

. . ."Based on recent news brought to our attention by various media outlets, showcasing the similarities between our own Trailar logo and the Truth Social logo, we are now seeking legal advice to understand next steps and options available to protect our brand," said Matthew Summers, head of marketing, Trailar. . . .


What a completely moronic dime-store hood/crook this guy is. Damnation -- out, grinning.
