Yoga IP

This Daily Kos diary on Yoga IP caught my eye. The text is better than it might appear at first glance. Most of the Yoga intellectual property is for trademarks, presumably for Yoga businesses, copyrights (presumably on particular wording in Yoga books, not the moves themselves), and Yoga accessories (seems excessive, but maybe there are some that aren't obvious -- also patents, since they are short lived, tend to be the least worrisome).

Still, some specific examples, shows the unnecessary ease with which trademarks can be obtained.
