WHITE COLLAR BOXING®
'White Collar Boxing' was
originated prior to 1986 by Australian Academy of Boxing
personnel and in 1987 the idea to form an organisational vehicle
to further develop a lighter and safer form of boxing than had
ever been previously available began to take shape. On January
the 24th 1990 the Australian Academy of Boxing came into being
to Design, Define, Develop, and Provide, original boxing
orientated sports and fitness services that also included
'Boxacise'.
Over the last two decades the Australian Academy of Boxing
sports and fitness concepts have been under continued
development through workshops competitions, and courses, and
made available to the public through licensed centres providing
qualified coaches. The aim with 'White Collar Boxing' has always
been to provide participants with a safer controlled, less
physically demanding, highly skilful boxing and fitness
platform. This has been accomplished by utilisation of the
'Excessive Punching Rule'© that penalises boxers for
throwing excessively powerful punches that would make an
opponent lose defence capability or knock them down. The
'Excessive Punching Rule'© makes for action packed bouts as
boxers strive to achieve points scoring supremacy.
As with its successful cousin Boxacise®, the boxing and
exercise reflex co-ordination and fitness training registered
trademark service, there is always someone who despite being
advised that it is illegal to use a registered trademark without
licence will not cease and desist in promoting their false
service using our services name. In 2006 the Australian Academy
of Boxing took legal action in the Federal Court of Australia
against various parties using the 'Boxacise' registered
trademark without licence and with due regard to public safety
and awareness published their names on the basis that the
Australian general public needed to be safeguarded against
unlicensed organisations using 'Boxacise', 'Boxercise', 'Kick
Boxercise' or other derivatives to promote their commercial
services.
See: www.boxercise.com.au
to view the outcome of those actions.
Unlicensed trademark use undermines a services good name and
reputation built over many years so we are publishing unlicensed
'White Collar Boxing' registered trademark service user names
because: |
- (a) the party had not, or was not registered with the
Australian Academy of Boxing to provide the licensed White
Collar Boxing® service.
- (b) the party has not ceased and desisted from using
the trademark.
- (c) Federal Court of Australia, White Collar Boxing®
registered trademark legal proceedings have been initiated.
|
Each parties name
will only be removed from the list when it either becomes
licensed, ceases and desists from any further visual-oral usage
of White Collar Boxing®, or
Australian Federal Court proceedings have been concluded.
