Sarah Palin Branding Her Name

Sarah Palin and her brood have turned celebrity into a cottage industry.  Famous for far more than her 15 minutes, the failed VP candidate is filing to trademark her name and that of her daughter Bristol Palin.


Accoding to an article on Yahoo News:

Palin's paperwork was filed in November, shortly before the premiere of her TLC show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska." Bristol Palin's application was filed in September, a few days before she began her own reality TV stint on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." The applications are still pending, amid several queries by the Patent office.

As a side note, here series like her governorship has already been canceled.   She may be trying to protect her "brand" but if recent success , or lack of it is any indicator, it isn't in much danger.  Maybe the CHinese will start doing Palin knock-offs?
