Suio Ryu Iai Kenpo USA Shibu
Hi All!
Just a few days ago i found this thread:http://www.e-budo.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36087
Brian Stokes posted the following:
FYI - Suio Ryu® and Suio Ryu Iai Kenpo® anr trademarks of the Suio Ryu®, Japan.
Wow! Is this the future of koryu? Please dont take this as a critic but i am wondering why the Suio Ryu registered there name as a trademark. Yes this is maybe a natural step to avoid misuse but its strange in my eyes.
Brian, could you please explain why it has been done and where (what countrys?) the ryu is registered as a trademark? And all others, what do you think about it?
