An investigation by America 2.0 reveals that Donald Trump's “Board of Peace,” ratified last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, has filed applications for two trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

This would not be unusual except for the fact that the organization itself, which has no legally defined status, is not the holder of the trademarks. The marks are owned by the USPTO itself, marking an unprecedented use of executive branch power to protect the rights of an ambiguously defined supranational entity.

The Board of Peace was created as a result of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) adoption of Resolution 2803 on November 17, 2025, which authorized the organization as a “transitional administration with international legal personality” intended to “set the framework and coordinate funding for the redevelopment of Gaza.” However, the organizational charter revealed in Davos is light on details and makes no mention of Gaza. This has caused many to believe the organization may be intended as a shadow-UN that could ultimately replace it.
