On the Come Up: Trademarking “Octomom”

Nadya Suleman is a hustler if we’ve ever seen one. Now, she is working on a deal to trademark her nick name:

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. According to Czech, Suleman has been contacted by clothing designers and manufacturers of dolls and infant accessories. “We’ve had phone calls, but it’s a stretch to call them offers,” he says, adding that he’s currently in the midst of negotiations with producers for a reality TV show involving Suleman.

She is playing the hell out of the American system. F*ck an Octomom!

4/16/09, 12:56:pm

SERIOUSLY!!!!???

Then they wonder why these kids are getting f’d up by the million, pulling nasty stunts and acting all crazy thinking it cool?

So not only is she getting “*****istance” to live it up like her role model Angelina Jolie (who at least works for her ridiculous hollywood salary), she’ll be getting paid for every time anyone uses the name “octomom”… oh and wait for it now part of my Direct TV bill goes towards them buying this baby making machines TV Show!!!

Someone PLEASE lock this heffa up, tie up her tubes and give her kids away because

A) whether or not they admit it she is in NO CONDITION to being a stable parent to all this poor little souls and

B) if it weren’t for all the media attention the story generated and her skills on playing on other peoples sympathy FOR THE CHILDREN – she would not be able to afford these children, let alone that $600+ outfit she’s wearing in that ONE picture.

This is a shame and America is soooooo wrong for letting it get this far. Screw her rights – by making the f’d up decisions she did she gave those rights up.

Its funny how in a matter of months she goes from being on welfare struggling asking for donations to wearing $200 shirts and shoes, 1500 dollars bebe shopping sprees and a half a million dollar house life must be really good for her

ok

4/16/09, 13:21:pm

She is doing her own reality show and is probably going to call it “octomom” or something so that’s why she probably needs to get it trademarked. She’s not a “ho”, she’s just an idiot ! But hey she’s not living off welfare, she got money from interviews and student loans, she’s living in a million dollar home now. She’s not abusing her kids, she’s not molesting them, i think she treats her kids a lot better than how some women treat their kids in line at the local walmart ! She’s crazy for being a single mother of 14 kids, but hey some folks have only 2 kids and still are bad parents !

Sasha

4/16/09, 13:22:pm

You know the media talks about her only wanting exposure but then they put her out there everyday. She had those kids for the money ahd she is about to get it, but one day she will realize all the money in the world dont make up for what she is lacking and that is cl*****. She should have those children taken from her and given to someone who will love them not the money she feels she can get from them. It is a sad day in America when people have multiple children for a get rich scheme!!!

This bich is officially puttin’ it out there that you can pimp your uterus completely out.

Watch how many of these cluckenheads follow suit… they already been doin’ it!

4/16/09, 13:40:pm

She’s not living off of welfare…yet. Once the reality tv show bombs, and she has spent whatever dollars she makes, she’ll spend it on more plastic surgery and semi-expensive clothes. I am 100 percent confident that this triflin ho will be broke in five years and begging the state help her support her kids. Let us not forget that those kids will have health and developmental problems probably for the rest of their lives.

She’s not an Octomom – she’s an Octoho

I think the law firm is the ones trying to take advantage of something that they had nothing to do with. Trying to trademark someone else’s fame for your own profit. 99% of all lawyers are the s***** of the earth. If you are part of the 1% who is not–bless you soul!

Truthful

4/16/09, 15:24:pm

To those that do not know, this trick has applied for WIC..I’d much rather the ***** go to a working family of 4 and maybe one of the parents have lost their job and they need a little help.

Not a UGLY trick that planned to have 14 kids to get a head..and trust she still has her donation web-site up.

This trick is NEVER w/her beloved pups, she is too busy trying to be a star.

attention seking w*****, her mother and father will never re-coup from what she did to their credit, while helping her raise her first 6..

Her ***** wonn’t last long WATCH..

looking like a monster, she was getting disability for her bad back but could STILL manage to carry a litter of pups huh..

As soon as she makes her money, I hope the Government takes theirs..

Ain’t no one feeling a chick that purposely spitting out kids AND they crazy!

Good luck to her supporters!!
