A California man seeking to lock up the rights to a Donald Trump dig just took a legal L in the highest court in the land ... but he can still sell his shirts with the suggestive phrase.

Warren In 'There’s Something About Mary' 'Memba Him?!dig just took a legal L in the highest court in the land ... but he can still sell his shirts with the suggestive phrase.Elster, a lawyer in California, tried to trademark the phrase but was rejected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ... and then he claimed his First Amendment rights had been violated, appealing the case all the way to SCOTUS ... which ultimately heard the case.

Trump punched back in a 2016 debate, telling viewers ..."Look at those hands. Are they small hands? And he referred to my hands -- if they're small, something else must be small. I guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee you."While Elster isn't getting his trademark, he can continue sellin' his"Trump Too Small" shirts online ... so it's not a total loss. He just can't stake a legal claim to the actual words.
