COLUMBIA, S.C., Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Jenny Sanford, whose husband, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, admitted to an affair in June, has filed an application to trademark her name, documents show.
Her $325 filing said the trademark is intended for items bearing her name to be sold by an online retailer, The State newspaper reported Saturday in Columbia, S.C.
The merchandise would include clothing, mugs, notepads, stickers, decals and "other household items," the filing said.
