Fraud
Watch
As
of this posting on 10-20-99, according to United States Trademark
Commission records, the symbol may only be displayed next
to or associated with the letters "CMO" within our graphic
logo as shown at right.
Thanks to
you, an enormous amount of fraud has been reported. Even companies
held in high respect have incorrectly displayed the symbol
next to the letters CMO. Our investigation indicates that this
fraud started at the industrial bulk supply level. It appears
that bulk suppliers may have passed incorrect trademark information
on to their clients.
Many honest
and reputable companies that were victims of this fraud are now
taking measures to remove the symbol from their labels
thanks to your efforts. In fact, many of them will be purchasing
authentic CMO from us in the future. They have requested we remove
their names from the postings on this web site and we have complied.
We are taking action to notify all of the companies you have brought
to our attention, and invite you to continue in your diligence.
It is the direct result of your work as careful consumers that
has brought about the changes you will witness in the next few
months. We thank you for your efforts and welcome your continued
support.
According
to United States Trademark Commission records, the symbol
may be displayed next combinations of other letters that include
CMO such as "CMO-Cis-9", "Arth-CMO",
"CMO-Sports" and etc. The trademarks mentioned
here are in fact authentic CMO.
