[Raw Food]Living Foods TRADEMARKING TRAITORS of Ann Wigmore Institute!

[Guest guest]

I was thinking the same 2 things you state below, and would like to comment that

I really think it really was a VERY selfish and decieving act that the Ann

Wigmore Institute made to trademark/copywright such a term! It's as if they saw

a perfect opportunity to grab a term that was widely being used and get legal

protection for it just so that they can turn against their fellow raw foodist

community and sue.

I personally hope these traitors don't win.

Wigmore's trademark registration was lapsed then there is no claim on the term

" living foods " .

I, for one, know that I've seen those particular terms EVERYWHERE, and certainly

not always in connection with the Ann Wigmore Institute.

The same thing has happened in the yoga world with Bikrim. He has

trademarked " his " postures. Pretty sad.

That's really harsh.

 

This is what I sent earlier, but it didn't seem to go through.

 

 

I do not and can not speak for the Institutes or the Foundation and I know

nothing nor have any ability to speak about the lawsuit. I just teach

classes.

 

I do know that those involved with managing these NON-PROFIT INSTITUTIONS

and FOUNDATION founded by Dr. Ann Wigmore take very seriously their

responsibility of protecting the integrity of the life work of Dr. Ann.

 

Those who work at managing the Institutes and Foundation, that Dr. Ann left

behind, have dedicated their lives to spreading her work throughout the

world in the most open and positive way. Though I do not know any specifics

of the suit, I do know the loving nature of the hearts and minds of those

who work at these struggling non-profits and I can only imagine the

difficulties that have led them to this unfortunate action of having to file

suit to protect the work of Dr. Ann Wigmore. I do not know anything about

this person who is reportedly profiting from her work.

 

I do believe that is probably the sad end of what was probably long and

difficult road of resolving a difficult situation.

 

I can only say, be sure YOU get all the facts before start making harsh

condemnations.

 

All the best,
