 diluting or otherwise violating them. For example, TMTG is currently challenging an apparent bad faith registrations of the Truth Social trademark in the European Union. In any or all of these cases, TMTG may be required to expend significant time and expense in order to prevent infringement or to enforce TMTG’s rights.
