Palin trying to trademark her name....

Sarah Palin Inc. Can she trademark her name?
Sarah Palin and her daughter Bristol want to trademark their names – a legal action more typical of celebrity figures in sports, fashion, and entertainment. As well-paid "motivational speakers," they've already made their mark.

It’s been said by her critics and mockers that Sarah Palin has become a brand, peddling herself with well-paid speeches, books written with a lot of help from professional wordsmiths, her own “reality” TV show, and those little key chains trimmed with genuine “Mama Grizzly” fur. (OK, so we made up the bit about the key chains.)

Now, it appears, Mrs. Palin – and her “Dancing with the Stars” daughter Bristol – really do want to be identified with a personal economic brand. They’ve applied to have their names trademarked. "Sarah Palin®" and "Bristol Palin®."

3. What do they gain from it?

Do they think others will sell something under those names?

What about people who happen to have those names?

7. I have a feeling I know why

It will be easier for her to send a "cease and desist" to anyone who mentions her name and doesn't praise her for all her self felt glory.
