Overview

  • The Trump Organization filed suit on July 25 in U.S. District Court in Florida accusing unnamed sellers on Amazon, Walmart and eBay of distributing counterfeit Trump-branded items without authorization.
  • The complaint contends that knockoffs of mugs, hats, t-shirts and sweatshirts bearing “Trump” and “Trump 2028” logos mislead consumers and infringe its trademarks.
  • It seeks injunctive relief requiring marketplaces to destroy alleged counterfeit goods and disable the offending seller accounts.
  • A motion to seal the Schedule A exhibit will keep defendants’ identities confidential while enabling broad legal action against unnamed storefronts.
  • Amazon, Walmart and eBay have not publicly responded to the lawsuit as it advances in federal court.
