MLM Companies Feud Over Product
By QBlog in Oasis LifeSciences
According to the Rocky Mountain News, two MLM businesses are in court disputing the origins of a "pricey anti-aging product."
Oasis LifeSciences claims that rival Resource Maxima has stolen the forumla for its herbal-based vitamin concentrate AgelessXtra.
Oasis says Resource Maxima's patent and trademark violations are doing double damage by luring Oasis distributors to Resource Maxima's business. Shunning grocery stores and vitamin shops, both companies advertise on the Internet. To purchase the products, customers must go through a sales distribution network made up of individual entrepreneurs operating out of their homes.
In September 2004, Oasis - formerly known as MaxCell BioScience and Oasis Wellness Network in Broomfield - relocated to Lacey, Wash., taking 28 of its 80 Colorado employees.
Interesting. Did you know Oasis LifeSciences changed its name in 2004? Did you know the Oasis LifeSciences domain was registered in June 2004?
Comments
I have talked with the owener of resorce maxima personally. He was a small business owner who had no idea of the oasis product, but was offered to sell the item from a former manufacture of the product. It turns out that the manufacturer had the rights to the product and was legally able to sell it. Since then it has all been cleared in court.
Check out MaxCell BioScience on a google search. The FTC has much to say about its claims about its products as well as the claims of the director. Makes you wonder why the name change.
