Nadya Suleman Seeks to Patent 'Octomom'

April 16, 2009

Nadya Suleman will do anything for her family of 14. Despite the fact that she apparently abhors being dubbed the "Octomom," Suleman is looking to patent the title in order to provide a small source of revenue for her litter of children, reported People Magazine. Unfortunately for her, a novelty firm in Houston already filed to own the rights to the word "octomom" with the Trademark office just a month prior to Suleman's request. Suleman's lawyer Jeff Czech contacted a lawyer from the business, claiming that the company has no right to own the word that does not apply directly to it. The media has christened Suleman the "Octomom" after she gave birth to a group of very publicized octuplets in late January.
