"Things can be copyrighted, thoughts cannot be copyrighted, and certainly meditations cannot be copyrighted. They are not things of the marketplace. Nobody can monopolise anything. But perhaps the West cannot understand the difference between an objective commodity and an inner experience. For ten thousand years the East has been meditating and nobody has put trademarks upon meditations." OSHO
UPDATE ON TRADEMARKS OF OSHO IN USA
Following the order by the United States Court of Appeals of the Federal Circuit, Washington, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) cancelled the trademarks of Osho on July 31, 2009.

It may be recalled that soon after Osho, left His body in 1990, Osho International Foundation (OIF) Zurich, started to register the name Osho and His Meditations as trade marks in the USA. Friends alleged that OIF attempted to hijack control of the meditative and spiritual teachings of Osho and his movement.
In March 2000, a web site http://www.oshoworld.com/ dedicated to making the huge volume of Osho discourses freely available on the internet, was served with a notice and pulled down from the net. Relying upon their registrations of trademarks, the Zurich entity tried to force Osho Dhyan Mandir to abandon the domain name http://www.oshoworld.com/ and transfer its ownership to them. In its verdict on July 28, 2000 the National Arbitration Forum of USA decided in favor of Osho Dhyan Mandir.
It was during that time the trademarks of Osho registered in the US came to the notice of Osho Friends.
When it became clear that the Zurich entity is working towards legal ownership and control of Osho movement and centers around the world, Osho Friends decided in 2000 to file for cancellation of the said trademarks. Osho Friends is an association of sannyasins, friends and lovers of Osho from around the world.
The trademarks of Osho in the US now finally stand cancelled.
The cancellations are reflected on the website of USPTO where the trademarks have been listed.

The Essence of Relating By Swami Satya Vedant

Care for Earth

The Earth is Sacred
Earth is the mother of all. If we had understood the earth as the mother of all, even of great values, we would have treated the earth in a different way. We have destroyed it. We have almost poisoned it. We have broken its ecological unity. We have disturbed its environment. And now with nuclear weapons we are ready to destroy it. And it is the source of all that is beautiful, and all that is great. The earth is sacred.OSHOZarathustra: A God that can Dance Chapter-8
