The Obamas are literally attempting to TAKE the 'Higher Ground'...

"Barack and Michelle Obama have been accused of “deplorable behavior” by a Los Angeles entertainment attorney for filing a “meritless petition” amid a trademark dispute over the name of their company, Higher Ground Productions.

“This is really deplorable behavior. I hope that the Obamas realize that these actions are not consistent with the values they preach and that they instruct their attorneys to immediately dismiss the petition."


Barry and Michelle 'didn't build that' ... but simply because they like the name and because they WANT the name, despite someone else already owning it, they are trying to TAKE what they want anyway, attempting to steal what they want from the legitimate owners.

What is not consistent in the values they preach, did they say anything about suing. Tramp does it all the time, is he deplorable!

Calling the Obama's deplorable is like calling tramp a upright citizen with high morals and beyond reproach.
 
The Obamas are just proving once again how Democrats see most Americans as obstacles that are in the way of what they want...and how they will do whatever it takes to get what they want...

Nice attempt to skate right past the main point of the story of how Barry and Michelle saw something someone else has that they want and are trying to simply TAKE it.

Now to dispel your BS and outright lie. You will note that the BS claim about the Enterprise name is wrong. The Enterprise name is from a Real Estate while the Production is from a Media venture. Notice the copyright filing dates. Production was accepted BEFORE the Enterprise was. And they are two completely different companies and two completely distinctive names.

Here is something about the Production that also backs up that the Obama's found it. Stop lying.

Two different trademarks.
 
....and after all of that the bottom line is the Obama's are filing a law suit to get a copyright wiped out because they want the name 'Higher Ground'...

Thanks for that 'clarification'... :p

They already own the copyright to the name. It's filed through Delaware and they are already doing business with Netflix. I showed the two trademarked names and there are NO conflicts. And your townhall.com site is just making shit up again and so are you. You want to keep using them as a source, then you are just repeating lies and that makes you a liar knowing it's probably just made up.
 
"the “Obamas have known for almost a year” that their Higher Ground Productions trademark application was rejected by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office because it was too similar to his client’s Higher Ground Enterprises.

“Instead of simply picking another name, the Obamas' lawyers have now filed a meritless petition to cancel my client's trademark so they can take it for themselves,”

The U.S. Trademark Office deemed the two companies too similar so the petition to cancel was filed."

Barry & Michelle don't believe they should have to pick another name just because someone else already has it or one so close to what they want...THEY want it so it should be THEIRS...

Barry and Michelle don't believe the holder if the trademark DESERVES to keep the trademark awarded / given to them....

Funny, liar, I took my information directly off of the Government Trademark site search area. And it was accepted in 2018. You can look it up yourself like I did at United States Patent and Trademark Office where they have ALL the trademarks listed. Stop lying, stupid.

Typical snowflake - attempt to discredit the source when you can't disprove what is being reported....

Discrediting the source only works with CNN, after they have been proven to be the propaganda wing of the DNC The last 4 years...

His op said Fox news. It may of started on Town Hall, but now it on most conservative news sources. I checked Town Hall, and one look at the site I could tell they were bias.

Higher Ground Enterprises was filed and approve 2 months after Higher Ground Productions in 2018. Productions is a Media Company and Enterprises is a Real Estate Company.

The trademark you are going on about did exist. But you have it all wrong. Enterprise is the one that files suit first to try and block Productions. They poked the bear. Obama said that they could coexist but Hanisya Massey, the owner of Enterprise filed with the Trademark office in 2017 to block it. Obama counterfiled and they bounced the Enterprises trademark for misbehavior. It was picked up and reissued to a Real Estate Business effective 2018 and finalized in 2019. You rightwingnutcases want to play the game but don't like it when you lose at your own game. This was strictly a Right Wing BS play that backfired.

Here it is.

Obama didn't get the Enterprise trademark. Massey filed a false report to the trademark office and they bounced his trademark and reissued it to a Real Estate Company. Obama does not own the trademark of High Ground Enterprises. Get your story straight. I already showed what happened. And your lying over and over doesn't make you lies the truth no matter how many times you tell it.

Yes, I know. He lied about it being from Fox News. Fox News didn't report it either.
