Sarah Palin™ and Bristol Palin™ – motivational speaking services

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

We have had fun mocking our sovereign citizen Marshall Home™ for having trademarked his name. Alas, Marshall Home™ is no longer a candidate for office and will mercifully disappear from this blog.

But no worries, mate. We have someone else equally as nutty as Marshall Home™ who will soon have a trademarked name to mock. Note to the media: you really should be using the trademark ™ after the name. Sarah, Bristol Palin to Get Their Trademarks – Washington Whispers:

The bids by Sarah Palin and her daughter Bristol Palin to trademark their names and images have cleared a major hurdle and should soon be approved for the potential presidential candidate and her Dancing With the Stars child.

Sources close to the process tell our Suzi Parker that nobody challenged Sarah Palin's trademark application. Today [June 17] is the deadline to do so. They also say that Bristol Palin's went unchallenged. That deadline passed June 10.

Each should receive their trademark within three months, said the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

The clear sailing for both Palins is something of a surprise considering the attention they draw from detractors.

According to both applications, the Palins wanted to make sure that only they could use their names, especially in political circles.

According to Sarah Palin's application she wants to protect her name, or "mark," for business and advertising purposes, political elections, entertainment services and for "providing motivational speaking services in the field of politics."

Bristol Palin's is focused on "providing motivational speaking services in the field of life choices."

This is their second time applying to trademark their name. The first time, they forgot to sign the application.

You just can't make this stuff up.
