Octomom trademarks "octomom"

[Bobby+Umit 161]

Just call her Octomom!

Nadya Suleman, the now-famous mother of octuplets, has filed an application to trademark the word "Octomom." But she's not the first to think of it: A Houston-based novelty company beat her to the punch by a month. Still, Suleman's lawyer says it's Nadya who has a legitimate claim to the name.

"It's not going to matter because they had no permission from Nadya, who has the rightful claim to the name 'Octomom', " says Suleman's attorney Jeff Czech.

Suleman has previously said she disliked being called "Octomom," but the unemployed mother of 14 realized it could be used to provide a source of revenue for her family. "She's never warmed to it, but the idea would be for others to use it for licensing," says Czech. "It's just a smart thing to do."

Her application was filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on April 10 by Czech, who quickly discovered a similar request had been filed a month earlier. He recently sent a letter to the law firm that filed the request, informing them that their client had no legal rights to the word.

Hey, she's just trying to survive. Think of her like a poor illegal who just wants a better life, and you'll all be happy for her.

She's just a nutjob. I hope the other company gets the rights to the name and exploits the hell out of it.

Whatever the case, she's desperate.

Whenever I hear these kinds of stories, my reaction is: "Don't you just LOVE this country???" I mean, where else but in America is this even POSSIBLE??!!

I can't wait to hear Jay Leno's take on it.

What happens if she gets more kids? Or - bad thing - loses some?

Will she upgrade/downgrade the name?
