March 31, 200422 yr By Andy Sullivan WASHINGTON, March 30 (Reuters) - Chicago pottery merchant Susan Brenner has a message for real-estate mogul Donald Trump: in the Windy City, she'll do the firing. Capitalizing on the success of his reality-television show, "The Apprentice," Trump has sought to trademark the phrase "You're Fired!" for use on clothing and casino equipment. But the copper-maned mogul might want to tread carefully in the Chicago area, where Brenner says she has emblazoned the phrase on plates, mugs, birdhouses and other items in her suburban ceramics studio since 1997.

March 31, 200422 yr Donald Trump is a jackass! But, I wish that, after he gets his Chicago real estate built, and builds ties to the community, that he could somehow buy the Sox. That would be fantastic.
March 31, 200422 yr If she didn't trademark it, she's screwed. She has "local market" protection. Donald can sell the "You're fired".. just not here in Illinois, and I believe, in the states surrounding Illinois. Although I doubt that would make much difference.. I'm sure they'll be hot sellers at his casino and Trump Towers in NY. He wont be able to sell them at his boat in Indiana though.
