Trump Company Applies For Trademarks In Macau

A Trump organization company has applied for four new trademarks in the Asian gambling hub of Macau, including one for casinos.

The applications for the Trump brand were made in June by a Delaware-registered company called DTTM Operations LLC. They cover gambling and casino services, as well as real estate, construction and restaurant and hotel services.

Trump’s trademarks have been a source of concern to ethics lawyers, who fear they can give foreign governments the opportunity to try to influence the White House. There are currently no Trump-branded businesses in Macau.
