Earlier this month, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office award Americans Elect a trademark for its name. Americans Elect is not the first party to trademark its name. The Washington State Libertarian Party obtained a trademark for its name years ago. That has been an issue in the ongoing legislation over the Washington state top-two system.
Not surprising, since Americans Elect is an online political process, not a party, and may be more comparable to other internet membership service providers like Facebook or Linked-In., albeit more secure.
