The Paradigm Pro Wrestling promotion applied to trademark the term “UWFi Rules” on January 14th with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

The filing for the trademark notes that it is for the following use, “G & S: Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer.”

For those wondering about UWFi Rules, the matches feature a mix of wrestling, submission grappling and kickboxing. The match can only be won by knockout, submission or on points. The fighter is allowed the use of virtually anything that works in those formats such as a knee, punch, kick, slap or wrestling, while the fighter is not allowed biting, groin strikes, headbutts, eye gouging, closed fist punches to the head and elbow strikes. Each fighter begins the match with 15 points, with a fighter losing points for rope escape, suplex or a knockdown.
