ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Sarah Palin is trying to trademark her name.

The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate filed paperwork with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in November to register the trademark.

The federal office is seeking more information and examples of usage. Palin's attorney said Friday that they have until late spring to provide that information.

On her initial application, Palin listed usage of the trademark for a website featuring information about political issues; and educational and entertainment services, including motivational speaking in the fields of politics, culture, business and values.

Her daughter, Bristol, also is seeking to trademark her name, citing motivational speaking services in the field of life choices. The younger Palin was a contestant on "Dancing With the Stars" last year.

Silly liberals, is this the bet you got?

You have a joke for a leader. Obom is trying to take credit for everything good and then when something turns to crap he blames Palin. My 6 year old is smarter then that.

Seems to me Alaska's very foundation was built by people who figured out unique ways to make a living and weren't afraid to stick their necks out. Lots of folks have trademarked their or a name to build a business, why not the Palins? More power to them, I say...

Wow, just mention their names and the Perpetually Palin Preoccupied Predictable bashers come out of the woodwork. This isn't even a "newsworthy" item...just baiting the bashers is all..and they always take the bait. Does anyone NOT know that Bristol was on DWS? This bit of info was necessary or matters why????

The Wasilla Hillbillies never fail to provide humor. Guess she plans on making a bundle selling bumper stickers for the Presidential run for the Tea Party which has been hijacked under her nose by her buddy in ignorance Michelle Bachman.
