There's No Such Thing As a Fremantle Lunch

FremantleMedia North America — one of the forces behind American Idol — is having a very busy April at the US Patent & Trademark Office. During the first week alone, Fremantle applied for trademark protection for the following shows:

• "America's Got Talent" will premiere on NBC on June 21.
  
• "Madison Rose," whose MySpace account mentions a deal with Fremantle, will likely be the subject of a documentary.
  
• "Strange Felony Files"
  
• "Bounced"
