Octuplets: Jeff Czeck on *Octomom* trademark

So, does Nadya have exclusive rights to "Octomom"? A name she couldn't stand until she realized the marketing value and tried to trademark it for diapers and clothing?

Her lawyer, Jeff Czech, thinks she does even though a Houston-based novelty company beat her by a month.

If she wasn't Nadya, the name would have been claimed the first time it was said. Folks just don't want anything to do with her.

And ultimately that is a shame for her children who are going to need all the help they can get.

JEFF CZECH via PEOPLE:

It's not going to matter because they had no permission from Nadya, who has the rightful claim to the name 'Octomom'.

How does she have a rightful claim? She didn't make it up and she is on record saying it's derogatory.

CZECH: She's never warmed to it, but the idea would be for others to use it for licensing. It's just a smart thing to do. We've had phone calls, but it's a stretch to call them offers.

While he was busy unsuccessfully sparring with Gloria Allred, the Houston folks crept right in. Czech sent a letter informing them they had "no legal rights to the word."

How not?

Don't see how Nadya wins it - but who wants to get tangled up with her?

Would you feel safe sending your kid to school with Octomom™ clothes on?

Octuplets: Nadya on *Octomom* trademark

Radaronline’s latest video at home with Nadya and the children. Nadya actually looks like a tired mother for the first time that I’ve seen. And it was a relief to see that there were 2 woman who looked liked they knew what they were doing and were holding the preemies lovingly.

She was surprised that RadarOnline knew about her visit to the patent office. How could she possibly not know that people are following her everywhere? She said she did it because she heard someone else did it in Texas.

NADYA: People choose who you are going to be. I was thrust into all of this without my awareness and without my willingness and now I feel almost I have no choice to do what I can to support the kids.

Who is she blaming? Thrust into it without her awareness - she walked into the IVF center knowing full well what she was doing. Is she ever going to take responisibility for her actions?

These people in society labeled me that. I may as well take advantage of that to the benefit of my kids.

Funny, since she said she hated being called that.
