Sarah and Bristol Palin Seek To Trademark Names

Advertisements [?]

The former vice presidential candidate and her "Dancing with the Stars" daughter have filed applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark "Sarah Palin" and "Bristol Palin," AOL's Politics Daily blog reported Thursday.

According to the report, Alaska attorney Thomas Van Flein registered for a trademark of "Sarah Palin" on Nov. 5, 2010 - three days after the midterm elections. An application for "Bristol Palin" was filed on Sept. 15, 2010 - five days before "Dancing with the Stars" premiered on Sept. 20.

Celebrities often trademark their names to protect their brand from others who might try to cash in on their likeness or use their names inappropriately.
