APRIL 15--The California woman who gave birth in January to eight babies has filed an application to trademark the word "Octomom," which she wants to slap on disposable diapers and assorted clothing items. Nadya Suleman, who has shown a knack for cashing in on her post-natal predicament, last Friday filed two applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in a bid to commercially exploit her tabloid-bestowed nickname. In her April 10 USPTO filings, the 33-year-old mother of 14 identifies herself as "Nadya Suleman, AKA Octomom," and notes that she wants to use the "Octomom" handle on products such as dresses, pants, shirts, and disposable and textile diapers. Suleman also wants to secure a trademark to use "Octomom" in connection with TV variety programming. As seen in the below excerpts from Suleman's USPTO applications, she had to sign a letter consenting to "the use of my nickname as a Trademark or Servicemark." The USPTO applications, which cost Suleman a total of $825 and only include a bland logotype, were filed for her by a Whittier, California law firm whose web site reports that it offers "Intellectual Property and Family Law services."

Again she uses her welfare money for personal gain.
I really, really dislike this woman.
Lets turn child birth into a profitable business.
I just feel bad for her kids, who are going to be raised half assedly by probably, multiple people.
how conceited can you get?
I still like the video of her giving birth.

Funny Glenn. :)
More than funny Glenn!!
Do you think if the media had dubbed her "Dipstick" she'd still be wanting trademark status??
rofl
Hey, give her a break . . . I'm sure she is bi-polar or has some sort of symptoms-disease that allows her to be irresponsible. d*
...and get welfare.
I about cracked up when I watched that video..... I've got more in me..... I'm so happy.... rofl
Actually, she's getting a whole lot more attention than she deserves.....just like Columbine, it just encourages copy cats looking for their 15 minutes of fame.
Anything to divert attention from the looting going on in D.C.
I'm hoping she makes plenty of money-----perhaps that will keep her and her kids off the welfare rolls.
Now you sound like me, Scott. :) but you have that right.... look forward to more trivia... [waiting]
rwanders,
Although I tend to agree with you, the problem I have is once again gross negligence and rampant stupidity are rewarded with celebrity status, bucket loads of charitable donations and a mountain of money.
That is because we reward stupid people rather than weeding them from the gene pool, then they begin rewarding each other. We are doomed... [waiting]
weeding from the gene pool... rofl Good one Glenn.
What I've been observing lately is more and more crazy people who can't take care of themselves reproducing at an alarming rate. Scary. Try telling an incompetent teen she shouldn't get pregnant AGAIN when her mind is already made up. Her mom attends a state funded day program to keep herself out of trouble and the costly dysfunctional cycle continues...
At least Octomom is able to cash in to help raise her gang. My favorite logo is a giant octopus! ;D
Idiocracy.
