Regarding the dirt that one supporter of Mike Scozzari requested, I know that
item is not
central to Mike's defense. Mike told me he just wants everybody to be able to
teach TM
openly without fear and threats from the so called trademark holder. If
someone gets a
masters in education, pays for their education themselves, the university has
no right to
try and take the degree back 30 years later!
But to the post from someone (below) who wrote that there would not be
precedent, I
think you are way off.
Don't be naive - winning this will be winning it for everybody and we can end
this for
good.
I'm guessing this was written by an attny, possibly with the TMO as he must
realize it will
set precedent. He is just trying to sidestep that issue, which for supporters
that are TM
teachers would be the most important issue. If they win, the TMO could serve
the papers
on other independent teachers using the TM trademark - and THEY WILL- precedent
has
power! What independent teacher would risk it if the TMO wins the case in
Florida?
The trademark holder in this case has a long history of misusing that
trademark. Do we
need to go over this again? A judge knows that threats against the trademark
not acted
on by the TMO do not amount to defending the trademark. If you know someone is
misusing the trademark and has done so for years, threatening them with phone
calls is
not defending the trademark, it's harassment. The courts will have this
information as it
unravels. If TM is going to continue to be available I agree - it will be
thanks to the
independents. They just need to see the importance of this case in Florida and
help with
the defense.
Who can honestly say that the TMO is headed in the right direction?

Does he have a case to argue? He is using a trademarked name against
the wishes of the trademark holder. And depending what agreements he
signed at his TTC or beyond, he may be violating a contract.

Why would "dirt" on the TMO be relevant in trial to determine if Mike
is breaking trademark law? If the TMO broke other laws, they would
need to be tried for that. Is the "poster" suggesting sexie-sadie
files or ru dissatisfaction with fund raising will make a jury go "oh
dear, then their trademark is no good."?

Where is there precedent? Is an appeals court hearing the case already
-- interpreting new unsettled issues in trademerk and contract law?

And why does the TMO winning the scozarri case make them more likely
to do that? And why does losing it make them less likely?

How many are teaching in the US -- using TMO trademarks? Just a
handful I would imagine. Its all ready pretty much over.
Though teaching "Beatles meditation" or "TransX Meditation" by word of
mouth should not be a problem.
