Dentoy Revillar® Final Wishes for Trademark

Dentoy anticipated that, after his passing, some individuals might exploit his name for personal gain, claiming association with him, stating he was their teacher, or adopting his style of Eskrima without authorization. To prevent this, he entrusted a few of his instructors with the task of trademarking his namesake and legacy.  

​

This step was taken to protect his reputation and the process he followed in teaching Eskrima, and the immense amount of time and effort he invested over this lifetime in developing his Eskrima methods, processes, and educational materials. By securing the trademark in his namesake, to his commonly used name, "Dentoy Revillar", it would ensure his legitimate instructors could maintain control over how the quality of the use of his name is preserved.  It also ensures the integrity and safeguarding of his contributions made to the Filipino Martial Arts communities are made are provide in an honest manner for future generations.  

​

Although the process began while Dentoy was alive.  In 2024, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued the Trademark for "Dentoy Revillar", herein referred as Dentoy Revillar®.
