Trademark for “Drain the Swamp Game” Registered
A trademark for “Drain the Swamp Game” was registered by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Trademark Registration No. 5,451,087 for the word mark DRAIN THE SWAMP GAME registered on April 24, 2018 for “board games.”
The “Drain the Swamp” card game is available on Amazon here. I don’t own the game, but from what I could gather it appears to be a game where players draw cards, read the questions on them, and then answer them in activities like:
- Distinguishing between “fact” and “alternative fact”
- Picking a quote from a White House staffer out of several false ones
- Completing a tweet from President Trump
According to Amazon, it’s made by Fast Entertainment, LLC, a company based in Reno, NV.
The trademark specimen (a sample showing the trademark being used in commerce) filed in December 2017 is found below.
