Sarah Palin secures trademark on her name

Sarah Palin has trademarked her name, amid rumors of a run for the U.S. presidency.

The former Alaska governor has fulfilled the requirements for securing the branding rights to her name, according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

An application for trademark was made in November 2010, with the deadline for objections passing on May 17.

The USPTO revealed that no complaints about the trademark application were made.

According to the filing, the trademark Sarah Palin will be used for “information about political elections; providing a website featuring information about political issues, educational and entertainment services, namely, providing motivational speaking services in the field of politics, culture, business and values.”

Bristol Palin, daughter of the 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee, has also secured the trademark to her name.
