Joshua Green reports for the Atlantic, “A few months ago, an attorney for Sarah and Bristol Palin put in an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark their names.”
According to a reporter for Politics Daily, “the deadline to challenge Palin’s application passed on Friday and — amazingly — nobody seems to have challenged it. So it looks like the Patent and Trademark Office will award both patents in the near future,” writes Green.

So, they’re going to sue everyone else named Sarah and Bristol Palin and force them to change their names?
Julian Assange™ did the same I hear.
I heard, there are some sort of neo/paleolithic tribes somewhere in new guinea, where one to name his child has first to kill someone with the name desired in order to legally obtain that name. Very progressive stuff, indeed.
I also heard that indigenous population in austrlia had similar copyright system for word, but with tribal rather than personal ownership. When 20000 y.a. they came to australia, they had fire, domesticated dogs and could build some sort of rafts or boats (they had to sail across the straight from indonesia). When europeans got to australia 20ka later, indigenous had nothing… but maybe that is just rumors.
Is this a joke?
How on earth does she plan to implement this? There must be thousands of Palins in the world-so now none of them can name a child Sarah?
This is good news, maybe. Trademarking their names will confer little to no benefit to these clowns, and may be all that was needed to wake a few people up to the absurdity of the current system. So thank you, Sarah Palin™, for shooting the status quo in the foot, you blustering moron.
