I received a message from AMTA about a company trying to trademark the term ‘trigger point’, which would mean no one else could use it without licensing it from them. Have you heard anything about this? What company is trying to trademark such a well-used term? I signed the petition. Here’s the message:
“You may have heard that a company is trying to take away your right to freely use the term “trigger point” by filing for a trademark of the term. We all know this is a term used by massage therapists and others in our field. It shouldn’t be controlled by anyone.
AMTA is the only national association in the profession that is defending the right of massage therapists everywhere to continue to use the term “trigger point” freely and without restriction.
Add your name to support AMTA in the fight against restrictions on your right to the free use of the term “trigger point”. And, forward this to your friends so they can add their support.”
