On February 28, No Labels filed an amended Complaint in its lawsuit against a parody website that tried to make it appear that No Labels is a right-wing-leaning organization. The parody website was NoLabels.com. The actual No Labels website is NoLabels.org.
The case was first filed in 2023, and is still undergoing discovery. It is in federal court in Delaware, 1:23cv-01384. Here is the amended Complaint, which shows the old verbiage in the Complaint contrasted to the new language. The case is now named No Labels v Delco0222024, Inc.
This is part of a trio of cases that led to the discovery of democratic party operatives to systematically destroy No Labels.

These tactics are common against independent/third party efforts and are clearly visible among the LP.
Of course, they are illegal trampling on 1A and democratic principles that require the free participation of political parties which are just groups of voters exercising their constitutional rights but parties get additional protections, but this lawfare has not attracted a lot of attention of law enforcement (maybe that’ll change in the 2nd Trump Administration).
Trump is my hero, and mass deportation
Is just the first step to an all White nation!
@Hector, I’ve heard there is disagreement among Libertarians about whether intellectual property is really property.
What do you think about political party trademarks?
Donald Trump is the great White nationalist hope
Who will make America more purely White than ivory soap!
@Adam, I think trademark enforcement is a bad way to reach the goal of resolving party disputes. I support alternative dispute resolution which includes mediation as the standard to resolve all internal disputes (and that includes a cost-shifting clause to ensure people don’t file frivolous or SLAPP suits if they don’t like the outcome of ADR).
As for the more philosophical “what is property” question, trademark is a form of property if people treat it as such. We can’t deny trademark as property merely because its protected under the state because it was first created by people (like money which similarly doesn’t reflect the traditional “property” definition). By extension, the common tort of fraud is available to protect those from competitors trying to trick their customers as to who is the real organization or business that has the historic commercial value.
Thank God for Trump!
Thanks Hector. I haven’t heard of SLAPP before but guessing it’s like what’s happening to Tiffany Cianci.
Trump is making America American Again!
@Adam
