It was trademarked in Japan by Dentsu, a large advertising agency. When the Japan Football Association caught wind of this fact, it asked Dentsu for that trademark. Dentsu complied, so the trademark is now in the hands of the JFA.
The legal ramifications of this are sketchy, as -- I think -- the courts would probably have to sort out any challenges about that "trademark." After all, even though one held the trademark to the word "soccer," what would that mean? Holding the rights to the word "futsal" is probably no different.
--------------------------------- I understand that the name Futsal is trademarked in Canada, Australia, and the UK. The trademark of the name allows the owner of the trademark to have a variety of rights. Does anyone know who has trademarked the name "futsal" in these countries and what the intentions of the owner are?
