[AquaticLife] Tetra safestart to begin sales in U.S.
“If he’s broken with the company he had partnered with to invent, produce and sell that product, there could be a dispute over who owns or has rights to the patent, and he could be trying to use the same formula or one that is similar enough to end him up in court, without it having been settled who has the right to use the formula, and he might be trying to evade the issue by refusing to say zit to anybody about what is in the product.”
First, he was with Marineland for nearly 20 years as an employee, not a partner. He had a hand in many creations that made their way to market.
Doing a quick patent search, I found his name to be on 5 patents as the inventor, and each of those were assigned to Aquaria, Inc. This would not be unusual, since many employee contracts will have a section covering patentable inventions where either to corporation will either own the patent outright or have the rights to the patent. This is most likely the reason why he is being quiet on the formulation that he is selling.
Before tossing about any terms about a person in a discussion, especially if he is not there to defend himself, one should have all the facts. Using the defense that other people are doing it is no defense at all. Don’t you remember how well that argument worked with your parents when you were younger? Never flew, did it? Doesn’t fly here either.
What would need to be done is to have someone test both products, the one from Tetra, and the one from Tim Hovanec, under controlled conditions, to determine which is better at meeting the claims for the product.
