What reasoning explains why sarah and bristol palin want to "trademark" their names? What does this accomplish. Should I trademark my name?

This is not uncommon among celebrities. Here's an excerpt from a Reuters news report:

Quote:

Palin, a former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential nominee in 2008, has become one of the most recognizable names in U.S. politics. She is a darling of the conservative Tea Party movement that helped sweep Republicans to a majority in the House of Representatives in the 2010 elections.

Bristol Palin became a fan sensation as a contestant on the popular ABC show "Dancing with the Stars."

An unwed, single mom as a teenager, Bristol Palin has also made a name for herself giving talks about teen pregnancy and abstinence from sex.

Legal experts said it was relatively unusual for politicians to trademark their names because they are generally not associated with commercially valuable products or services. Trademarking a name is more common for celebrities in the fields of entertainment, fashion or sports.

"There's difference between being famous and being a brand," said Claudia Ray, a partner in the New York-based firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP, which specializes in trademark law.

Sarah Palin seeks to register her name in conjunction with "providing motivational speaking services in the field of politics, culture, business and values," her application says.

It also cites her services in "providing a website featuring information about political issues."

Her daughter seeks to trademark in connection with her role as a motivational speaker "in the field of life choices."




That would be a perfectly plausible reason for doing this, but there are probably more subtle ones as well.

Because she has seen the writing on the wall and realized than any Presidential aspirations she might have had are DOA.

After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action.  If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it.  - Ernest Hemingway

If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it.  In the law courts, in business, in government.  There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent.    -Cormac MacCarthy

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.  - Aeschylus
