You wouldn’t think it would be worth the bother of trademarking her nickname, given the fact that about 13 of Nicole Snooki Polizzi’s 15-minutes are already over. The tiny reality star is following in the footsteps of fellow Jersey Shore castmate, The Situation (whose only situation seems to be a limited vocabulary).
Snooki has filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. She wants to gain the sole right to use the nickname Snooki, as she claims she will use the name for two purposes; for entertainment-related personal appearances, and on printed matter (namely books). I think a Colouring In With Snooki book would be a great idea, and I have no idea why she didn’t think of it sooner. Who this clown thinks will buy her book is beyond me, but she is going to try to make her claim anyway. The 22-year-old reality star paid $650 for the claim, submitted by an intellectual property lawyer with Buffalo-based firm Phillips Lytle.
Below are the SmokingGun.com February 7, 2010-filed Marlboro, New York, resident’s U.S. Patent and Trademark Office application documents.

You made me laugh out loud about The Situations vocabulary and Snooki’s coloring book!
Thank you dear, thank you. I try <3
I know EXACTLY what you mean. Some people really don’t know how hard gossip blogging is.
Too bad Snooky Bellomo (of Manic Panic fame) did it first… and still does it better! The spelling difference may only be off by one whole letter, but the difference in class and integrity is astounding!!
Haha, very funny. I’m secretly hoping her 15-minutes is over before the application goes through.
The orange crayon is going to run out if you’re coloring in Snooki.
Hey Brendan. I’m suddenly really mad at myself for not thinking of that really great/ obvious joke. Damn it! Well played.
I think Ali Sabet of Sabet Brands (who has the rights to http://www.snooki.com) might, just MIGHT, have a problem with this.
Prolly – if it’s not unique it’ll be pretty hard to get the papers to go through… we shall see.
