__Trademarks like META-Health are not protected globally.__ There are different rules for each country. In the USA a trademark has to be in active use to become protected (even if not registered), in the EU an official registration is needed:

Actually IMMA is holding the trademark "META-Health" both in the USA and in the EU. Johannes' old trademark "Meta-Medicine" is no longer active in the USA and has never been registered in Europe:

*[tiki-download_file.php?fileId=2005|Trademark META-Health EU] 

Spreading the knowledge of META-Health / META-Medicine to other countries questions will come up about the registration of local trademarks.

Regarding the costs IMMA as a low budget non profit organization will probably be unable to register the trademarks in all relevant countries and all relevant translations in the standard classes  16 (books), 41 (education) and 44 (therapy).
