EnviroTabs Scam
I'd like to repost just the relevant portions to the patent stuff from another thread. The negative words you use probably intended to mean the post, not the fact the patent is "hidden."
Cited Repost:
It has been suggested the patent is international in NZ, therefore "does not apply" to the US. Actually I think the World resolves such disputes, vies a vie Nikken vs. Amway over magnets. Nikken had the Japan patent and Amway owned similar in US. Truth is, both apply - and don't necessarilty threaten each other if they were designed in parallel. At least to my understanding.
It occured to me that we can't find the patent because GFG was purchased and renamed from a prior company (before the affiliate program), which means unless we want a trip to the county (in the state of) origin's clerk, we may not find it - No former name, no information for patent. Not paying a P.I. until this stuff stops working. ;)
New Thought - Since my last post (5 mins), I thought up another idea: What if the patent is being licensed from scientists or another entity? Sounds like contract is a 'ghost' reason to avoid - but frankly easier to explain than corporate strategy. MLMs tend to simplify rather than provide real insight in management & legal decisions. Who hasn't worked for a company where HR's reason to fire someone on paper isn't the real scoop? Sometimes the real reason is necessary but looks like crap on paper. Legal defensibility is not reasonability! Bottom line: Hard to duplicate jurisprudence, and negativity (along with rumor on ignorant interpretation/opinion) catches like wildfire.
Thanks for the insight and perspective! Suspicion is the better part of caution. The question of the day "is the hidden reason valid?" The public reason is truly irrelevant for sure. MLM with a grain of salt, as you prescribe, Sir. :)
