    Palin Trademark Refused - Event Canceled After Sarah Palin Backlash

    Palin Trademark Refused - Event Canceled After Sarah Palin Backlash - National Ledger

    Sarah Palin and daughter Bristol Palin have sought to register trademarks on their names. The two reality TV stars wanted to have their names protected, however they did not complete the registration process, according to a report.

    Sarah Palin and daughter Bristol failed in a bid to get their names trademarked because they forgot to sign the applications, according to an ABC News report.

    Frum Forum claims, "The Palins wanted to protect their names for “educational and entertainment services, namely, providing motivational-speaking services in the field of life choices,” according to rejected app, filed on Nov. 5."

    They are free to file again.

    In true Palin form she quit before completing the form...lol
    She is going to make such a competent Republican Presidential candidate.
    She and Bristol wanted to trademark their names so they could among other things provide motivational speaking in the field of life Choices.....For example not being able to complete anything including the trademark application process, Bristol's life choices of abstinence while her mom is endlessly spewing hot air about that very issue?
    Perhaps demanding such high speaking fees to go and speak at universities about abstinence was not such a good idea.
    People are laughing at the potential Republican Presidential Candidate.

    ***

    More woes for Sarah...Palin was to speak at the Patriots & Warriors Gala at the Infinity Park Event Center in Glendale, Colorado, but the vent has been canceled.

    According to the Denver Post, the group said Saturday that the event had been canceled because of "safety concerns resulting from an onslaught of negative feedback received by the organization."

    "Due to an onslaught of personal attacks against Gov. Palin and others associated with her appearance, it is with deep sadness and disappointment that, in the best interest of all, we cancel the event for safety concerns," according to the news release.

    Her popularity is astounding.
    Poor Sarah..she's been selling such a honest product why would people be so upset at her?

    This is rich:

    Sarah and Bristol Palin have a phrase for all would-be imitators: Trademarked.

    A lawyer for the dynamic reality-star duo from Alaska applied for a trademark of their names late last year, according to recent reports.

    The application was submitted for Sarah Palin on Nov. 5 and for Bristol on Sept. 15, shortly before her "Dancing With the Stars" debut, according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office website.
    The former governor's name is registered under goods and services, a category that includes information about political elections, educational and entertainment services. Her daughter's trademark is under educational and entertainment services, namely providing motivational-speaking services in the field of life choices, the website said.

    Other Palin trademark applications on record include "Democrats for Palin/Bachmann in 2012," "Sarah Palin's going rogue rogue," "Puck you Palin," "Palin not Stalin" and "Beware of Palin."

    According to AOL's Politics Daily, which first reported the story, the Palins have faced some problems with their pending patents. The current status on Sarah Palin's application shows that the patent agency has requested more information, specifically her written consent to have her name trademarked and proof that her name is being used for commercial purposes.
    Bristol Palin's application also had similar problems, according to the report.
    Jaia Thomas, an intellectual property lawyer in Washington, D.C., said the process wasn't that hard.

    "The real difficulty is whether the trademark office will accept it or not," she said. "There could be already another Palin not related to them with their name trademarked."

    Other people could have also beaten the Palins to the punch in applying for the name earlier, Thomas said.

    While the request to trademark their names may seem ridiculous, it's not exactly unprecedented. Many celebrities, including the Kardashians and Chad Ochocinco, have applied to trademark their names. Businesses also register the names of their stars. Nike, for example, owns the rights to the name "LeBron."

    Few politicians, including Barack Obama, John McCain or Nancy Pelosi have their names registered with the tradermark office, according to the website. Thomas said that it would be harder for politicians to regulate all of the activity surrounding their names.

    The Palins may have many reasons for wanting to trademark their names, but in the case of most celebrities, its a dollar bill thing, Thomas said.

    "The main reason a lot of celebrities want to trademark their name is economic gain," she said. "If they own a trademark to their name, no one else can make a profit off of it."
    The lawyer who applied for the patent for the Palins, Thomas Van Flein, is now on staff at Republican Rep. Paul Gosar.

    I think those were other possible trademarks in the pipeline from anyone.

    Fortunately for the rest of the sane populace the amount of people that are actually upset with a complete stranger over things that have no impact on the lives of the obsessed are in the extreme minority.

    It's ironic that the poster that tried to tie Palin to the shooting in Az has much in common with the actual shooter. Loughner blogged, sent hateful E-mails and death threats to Giffords for years before finally acting out. The Pima County Sheriff ignored the threats then blamed the rhetoric on the right the shooting.

    If there is one thing we should have learned from Az it is to take stalkers and people with a disproportionate amount of misplaced hatred of a public official seriously.

    If Palin was a Democratic Congresswoman would moderators here allow this repeated bashing from a seemingly disturbed source to continue right after 6 people were killed in Az by a psycho ???

    The people that were actually complicit in the shootings in Az were the people that ignored Loughner, passed him off as another harmless nut ball.

    Get real. Have you been monitoring Goldendog's e-mail account?

    Goldendog posted a PUBLISHED ARTICLE about Palin applying for a trademark. I wouldn't have known about that silliness if he hadn't brought it here.

    Thank you Goldendog!
