Steve Karel’s Stonecutter Media LLC applied to trademark the terms “Urban Wrestling Federation” and “UWF” on April 20th with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Karel ran a series of pay-per-view events using those initials and promotion name, while he has continued to use them on pay-per-view and DVD releases. Karel has been seeking potential partnerships, in an attempt to continue the vision of the promotion which meshed hip-hop and wrestling with urban-themed stories.
