Aloha! I am so impressed by Tiki Central. What an awesome community of Tikiophiles! I would like to request your kokua in a legal matter that pops up every so often. Malama Torch(TM), Malama Torches(TM), Malama Style(TM), and Malama Uila(TM) all are trademarks which belong to our ohana, originally Don Yuen Manufacturing, and now operating as LeiManu Designs. On occasion, people use our trade marks and brand names for products which have no association with us. (Just found two companies doing so today!) It would be great if whenever referring to any of our products, they are identified with the (TM) thingie. Our ohana has worked hard for almost 50 years to provide a quality product. Using the (TM) with the product name helps protect our legal rights to our trademark. Mahalo nui loa! Leilehua
