and if you treat these as any other application by any other applicant, i don't think there is a smoking gun here. >> reporter: a cbs news analysis says ms. trump has been applying for trademarks in china since 2008 including one of her name in mandarin while her father was running for president in 2016, she filed for 34. nearly twice the amount she applied for in the previous eight years. so far six of those trademarks were rejected. four have been approved. the three green lit on april 6th for ivanka trump's spa services, jewelry and handbags took nearly 11 months to process, falling within the typical time frame. in addition, rulings only come out on certain days. including the 6th of every month. in a statement, the company's president said the trademark filings are part of the normal course of business, especially in regions where trademark infringement is rampant. china is a major abuser. we found more than 300 chinese trademark applications for

ivanka trump's name that were not filed by her. other applicants may be trying to profit from her growing celebrity like the businessman who trademarked michael jordan's chinese name and sold sports gear. the legal practice is known as trademark squatting. under chinese law trademarks are reviewed on a first come first serve basis. miss trump won't profit from the trademarks unless she sells those trademarked items here in china, a country with nearly 1.4 billion potential customers. adriana diaz, cbs news, beijing. >> quijano: still ahead, we go town hall hopping with the republican congressman from alabama. voters weigh in on the trump administration's plans. nistration's plans. plans.

space. what was it like 18 years ago. >> oh, there was hardly anything 18 years ago. there were boats around but you could travel for a couple of hours and you wouldn't see another boat. >> reporter: o'hare owns her own mooring so doesn't mind the company of new boaters. people like andy winter who have been priced off the land but have found a way of life on the water. >> you can own somewhere that you can call your home, it's perfectly reasonable to live in without having to find millions and millions of pounds a and go into debt for the rest of your life. >> reporter: jonathan vigliotti, cbs news, london. >> quijano: that he's the cbs weekend new force this sunday. later on cbs is, "60 minutes." i'm elaine quijano in new york, we leave you with a look at our- london newsroom with got a facelift this weekend. it is based on the world map from the walter cronkite era of the cbs evening news. for all of us at cbs news, thank
