Coward Bloggers : By Inventor Roger Brown

Coward Bloggers

By Roger Brown

I find it a sad sign of the times when people can Blog about anything or anyone and don't have to stand behind what they say by posting their name. It's okay to have a nickname or fun user name you like. But, I find it hard to take a persons comments seriously if they do not have the integrity to stand behind those words especially when making accusations about someone else and sign their true name to their posts. It is not that hard to have a username and sign your real name at the end of the post to a Blog when making accusations.
Anyone can post something true or false when they are hidden. They have no repercussions for their comments. All that shows me is they are afraid to stand in the light for all to see and do not stand behind their accusations. If they feel they are right you would expect them to be able to handle any criticism. But, instead they hide. That is normally the act of a coward.

Come visit my sites at http://www.RogerBrown.net

I have gotten 9 products licensed spending less than $100 on each, you can too.
 
Well- While you're waiting, Jason...maybe this will be of interest. It may even help Roger out a little with his decision.

I'd actually like to take this time to sincerely thank Roger for reading the following. His comments may greatly help all inventors.

I love how everyday people can figure this all out, yet when Derek Pater, who saw all the proof, challenged Simon Brown from the UIA UK, to investigate Mark. Derek was sent a bill for 3,000- British pounds to do so. I thought the UIA was in place to investigate frauds and scammers?? This doesn’t sound like a non- profit group to me.

Some are asking how I managed to get my rights back so I thought I’d just post the email conversation between Mark and myself and what happened after that. Here’s how inventors can settle a breach in their contract-
Here was the notice date and reason:

Mark, 02/02/2011

6.01 Breach
In the event of a breach of this agreement by either party, the other party may, in addition to any other remedies that it may have, at any time, terminate all licenses and rights granted by it hereunder by not less than (4) months written notice specifying such breach, unless within the period of such notice all breaches specified therein shall have been remedied.

Please let this serve as written notice. I am giving you and Obvious Ideas llc (4) four months to remedy the breach in the following areas of the agreement.

3.02 Reports. (Breached) Licensee shall make written reports to licensors within thirty (30) days after the first day of each January, April, July and October stating in each such report the number, and aggregate gross sales price- minus discounts of licensed products sold or otherwise disposed of during the preceding three (3) calendar months and upon which royalty is payable as provided in paragraph 3.01. The first such report shall include all sales of licensed products sold or otherwise disposed of between the date of this agreement and the date of such report. Concurrently with the making of each report, licensee will pay to the licensor royalties at the rate specified in paragraph 3.01 included in this report.

4.02 Provisional patent. (Breached)
As part of this agreement, licensee agrees that WITHIN sixty (60) days of the effective date of this agreement to prepare and file a provisional patent application in the United States Patent and Trademark office in the name of the LICENSOR at licensee’s own expense.

Again, written notice is given on today’s date 02/02/2011 and this contract will fully terminate on June second (2) 2011.

Tania Reynaert

Tania,
I think you need to do whatever you feel is right. We have made every effort to distribute this product even with your interference.
Although you certainly have your opinion, the contract has no performance requirement, or a termination date. Therefore your demands are somewhat baseless. We will be happy to send you a report as requested, although null reporting is not a traditional business practice.
As for your termination, I would caution you that you cannot simply prescribe arbitrary termination dates to a legal contract. Any effort on your part to do so would be a clear breach of contract.

Mark,

I am basing the termination date on the 4 months notification. You would need to go back in time to remedy what you have breached. Although I see this as impossible, you may have your ways. Unless the breach is remedied, the contract will end on the date I have provided you with.

You do not need to caution me of anything as I have already been given legal counsel.

Tania,

Then I feel confident your legal council will prevent you from breaching the contract yourself. We assumed null reporting was not required as is normally the case, however if you would like null reporting we will provide it to you.
As for the patent, as you know it was filed, and has since expired. I’m sure your council would advise you that does not rise to the level of material breach, and is no longer at issue in the contract. Therefore cannot be used as a mechanism of termination.
We have lived up to every part of this contract and would view any attempt on your part to terminate the contract on 6/2/2011, or any date, a material breach. I’m confident your council will agree.
As I said before, we will continue to represent the product in an effort to secure distribution in our role as the exclusive rights owner.
Mark

I am not discussing anything more with you. I was told to send you the notice and to ignore engaging any further than that with you.

The date stands.



-Shortly after this emailing, I approached his partner (not the one who cut all ties with Obvious Ideas and the product), forwarded Mark’s emails and let him know what was going on. There are more partners involved and they all agreed to give me back my invention. The blacked out part is the name of 2 companies who do not need to be shown. I’m also distorting Mr. Thomson’s signature for obvious reasons.

I believe anyone who listens to Mark telling tales and calling people names rather than looking at facts is just as bad as him and probably isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, in general.
I have my invention back, so all the interest I have in this now is helping others to avoid the same person.

Even as the executive director of the UIA, Mark is still treating inventors unfairly. This letter shows he has no rights to Ba’Noodle but STILL refuses to remove it from his company website. He is not authorized to have this product on his site.
 
Here’s a couple of inventions I have concerns about because of Mark loving them. I’ll show them here. If either ‘pop up’ some time soon, I’m willing to bet the person is associated with Mark in some way. I'd think he would be foolish to actually use his name to submit them to a company.

This is PiePrints.

When I first showed my rough prototype to Mark and how it worked, he loved it. Roger helped name this one. Thanks again, Roger.

Mark asked me the shape I was going for and size, so I showed him with photos and sent measurements, just as I did with Ba'noodles.
He then insisted on making the tong part for me no matter how much I said I could do it on my own. He continued to say I was not capable. I said it would be easier if I worked with someone local and he asked why, when he could have his guys do it for free.

After he was not taking “no” for an answer, I wanted to pay him. He declined and told me not to be silly, we were friends and he already has somebody working on it.
I then proceeded with making the designs & molds for the plates to be used. Mark had asked me to show another professional in the field once I was finished, so I did.
She loved it and wanted to help place it. This is when things got ugly. Mark took over and this is a little of the email I received.

“ I had no idea Mark was not the inventor. I was told that it was his product, and he was controlling it.
So Banoodles is yours as well? WOW!
He sent me a Pie Prints prototype, which I sent back to you. Other than that he said he was making more himself, and would have sent them if I needed them. I never did get anything else from him.”


The other one is Elastalids.
Image
After sending the info sheet to Mark, He asked me to get all of the safety documentation on the silicone I used. I told him it was not food safe silicone for the prototypes, but ‘Dragon Skin’ supplied by the Smooth-On company.

He asked again for it and again I explained to him that silicone is made how the company asks it to be made. The people at Smooth-On had explained to me that silicone varieties are like dog breeds, endless.

He still insisted I obtain this and I basically ignored him and hoped he would just forget them. Calling them great, somehow I think he was on them the minute I hung up the phone and the useless task of obtaining information on a material that would clearly not be used for the final product may have been just to keep me busy.

Some may wonder why I'm posting my inventions, but others have already seen these as Mark tends to show other inventors belongings around to get feedback. The really sad part is when he claims them as his own.
