    Well, okay. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange,  is attempting to trademark his name for use in “public speaking services” and “entertainment services.” Personally I’d exercise a little more energy on the whole ‘I’m being extradited to Sweden for charges of rape and sexual assault,’ thing, but I guess this might be more important.

    The Guardian reports – and they call him a ‘hacker,’ which is nice, I guess.

    “Assange becomes the latest high-profile figure seeking to trademark his name. Sarah Palin, who famously likened Assange to an al-Qaida operative, has applied for similar protection for both herself and her daughter, Bristol Palin. Assange applied for the trademark on 14 February through his London-based law firm Finers Stephens Innocent. If granted, he will own the trademark to his name for the purposes of ‘news reporter services,’ ‘journalism,’ ‘publication of texts other than publicity texts’ and ‘education services.'”

    So hey! I guess Assange has more in common with Palin than we’d guessed. Who knew?
