Dueling OCTOMOM Trademark Applications Filed with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office

Posted on Las Vegas Trademark Attorney on April 16, 2009

She has single handedly ruined the name Nadia for me ? a great name which I was going to give to my future daughter until now. I even go out of my way to avoid reading or watching any tabloid stories on Nadya Suleman just so that I won?t play a part in the media frenzy feeding into her octo-ego...
