Exclamation Important "Machado Kimono" Announcement !

Carlos Machado, internationally recognized and respected principal in the RCJ Machado Brazilian*Jiu-Jitsu Network, announced today that he has retained a prominent Dallas law firm to enforce*his registered trademark rights on the Machado name.

Mr. Machado has the exclusive right granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office to manufacture, market, and distribute Jiu-Jitsu uniforms (kimonos and gis), and other martial arts clothing, equipment, and accessories under the*Machado name and trademark.*

Machado has recently discovered that there are*a number of individuals and entities that are either manufacturing or selling kimonos, gis, and other*martial arts clothing and accessories under the*Machado name.*

Says Mr. Machado, "Those who manufacture,*market, or distribute kimonos, gis, t-shirts and other martial arts clothing and accessories under the Machado name without my written permission*are violating my trademark rights granted by*the United States Government.* They will receive a written request to stop doing this.* If they refuse they will be promptly sued by my attorneys in*federal court for money damages, legal fees, and an injunction to stop their activities."

Thumbs down

The Machado Kimonos company from Brazil has nothing to do with the "Machado Family products", "R.C.J. MACHADO" or "R.C.J. MACHADO JIU-JITSU". The owner of Machado kimonos from brazil is called Aristides Machado. So "Mr. Carlos Machado" bought the machado name? or what? You guys are just trying to get a very good kimono brand for free.
