The other day I clicked on an ad for meditation instruction that came up with a Google search, and the site is being harassed by the TMO's lawyer. Is it legal savvy to claim trademark infringement where there is none? Well that depends on whether or not they can get away with it. IMO they should NOT get away with this rather ubiquitous method which they slapped a trademark on. I posted here a while back the video of a famous hatha-yoga teacher, Bikram, who successfully defended his particular sequence of yoga-asanas in the US courts and then went after teachers who broke off and were attempting to set up on their own. As I pointed out at that time, shortly after that case was settled, the TMO came up with the recertification scheme.
