I claim copyright to

‘Be as cool as a Buddha in Osho Zennis Sportswear.’

There is no German trademark “Osho” of OIF. I have made an investigation about Osho related trademarks in Europe – EU trademarks, international trademarks and German trademarks. You can download it as pdf-file
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=67X4V9XB
For other national trademarks in Europe one could do a similar research with the specific public databases.

“Just joking around now I thought of a great slogan for Osho Sportwear USA
‘Be as cool as a Buddha in Osho Zennis Sportswear.’ ”

Well yes, why not, that’s great! Osho alias Oysho has trendy sexy cloths for young woman, why not? With greetings form Pune 1 and the hippie and sex guru. A juicy way of life. Quite different to the suppressing ways of religions, especially suppressing sex and enforcing moral rules. Osho reaches as well into realms we do not even imagine. We are here to live it and to help it grow, not to control it. Control is the old, rotten way of Sheela and her followers in the so-called Osho International Foundation. Sheela created nothing but a concentration camp in Oregon. OIF created another concentration camp, a concentration camp for the creative energies of Sannyasins around the world. Closing down of Osho websites and blogs of Sannyasins with legal steps by OIF is not the way. It is high time that these controllers get out of the way of Osho and his people around the world.

But, disney land has millions of people visit every year and does that make a huge movement for Disney so that people who go their create mini-disney lands for themselves at home? No.

I have the impression that those orange people who were around Osho (few comparable to the proporrted large numbers now–who knows) had a larger exponential impact for Osho than the thousands that go now. Its simply a Disney Land for many, a vacation spot.. But even Disney land won’t ban you if you are critical of them..

In those beautiful books and darshan diaries Osho used to tell everyone who came to the ashram to start a meditation center back home. “You just start one…”

I think very soon we may see Osho Centers, but they will be more like franchises upholding the rules and regulations of the mother corporation.

But why so? Why can’t the wildfire remain wild? Osho was one wild man, and now to even wear his Mala inside the resort is considerred rebellious. In india I wore it everywhere except the place where it was invented…what an ironic situation!

And some will say…”you just go in and dont be concerned about the outside”—unfortunately out is in.

I doubt it is because of the new books. You have to be in quite a crisis to want to visit a meditation centre to do dynamic or to desire to visit Pune. At any one time on the planet there are only so many people in such a (an existential?) crisis.

But this is irrelevant. “Apple Computer and Apple Records can peacefully co-exist, since consumers are not likely to think that the computers are being made by the record company, or vice versa.”……..from my link http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/metaschool/fisher/domain/tm.htm

Okay I am sure it gets a bit more complicated if there are two identical trademarks in the same country. In the example you give, if OIF held the trademark, it could stop Osho Hamburgers and Osho Tissues but maybe not Osho Jeans. There would be tons of precedents for this sort of thing. Maybe an agreement would be reached so that the identical trademarks are distinguished by different typefaces.
