The owner of www.yogastickmen.com has submitted an application on January 29th 2012 with the Intellectual Property Office to trademark the descriptive and common industry term 'yoga stick men'. You can see the application by going to: www.ipo.gov.uk/domestic?/domesticnum=2608401. If the application is successful, this will allow the owner of yogastickmen.com sole rights to use the phrase 'yoga stick men' in all print matter and online text (including yoga class handouts and website content). As 'yoga stick men' is a descriptive and common industry term in the yoga world that has been used for many years by countless yoga teachers, please add your name to this petition in support of refusing the application.
