"Things that puzzle me are:
Why could Group 270 not make an improvement in sales when they are supposed to be the Retail Distribution Group. The following is there focus see there web www.group270.com
Group 270 covers major Canadian retailers including
· Shoppers Drug mart
· Loblaws Companies
· Wal-Mart Canada
· London Drugs
· Pharmasave National
· HBC
Product categories
· OTC Preparations
· Health and Beauty Products
· Natural and Organic and Eco Products
Markets Serviced
Western Based Sales Solutions for National Brands
Alda has been working with this group since 2006 when they were first retained.
On August 22, 2008 Group 270 and the Company mutually agreed that Group 270 will be compensated at the rate of
$100 per hour rather than receiving a monthly retainer. In the event that both ALDA and Group 270 mutually agree
that there is sufficient reason to continue the payment, it will remain in effect on a month to month basis until the
payment of a commission rate of 8% of net sales exceeds the $1,500 per month. At that time the monthly payment
will cease and Group 270 will receive only the commission.
OnMarch 3, 2008, CIPO accepted applications filed by
the Company to register “T36 Disinfex” (File No. 1385140) and “T36 Safe-T-Cide”
(File No. 1385134) astrademarks in Canada. Both trademarks were advertised in the Trade-marks Journal on November 12, 2008. For a
period of two months after a trademark is advertised in this manner, opposition to the proposed trademark can be
filed. During this period, Triosyn Holdings Inc. (“Triosyn”)filed a statement of opposition to the proposed trademark,
“T36 Disinfex”. On February 6, 2009, the Company was advised that the Trademarks Office had granted Triosyn an extension to April 12, 2009 to file a formal Statement of Opposition. The proposed trademarks were selected
through the work done by Brand Institute to establish new “brands” for the Company’s products for the retail and
commercial markets. The proposed trademarks were then screened by the Company
’s patent and trademark lawyersand the decision was made to add the “T36” prefix to the names to make them more unique. Although the Company’s
management believes that sufficient due diligence was conducted to select appropriate trademarks and to avoid
infringement on any existing trademarks or trademarks for which applications have been submitted, there is no
guarantee that the new trademarks will be issued or that the trademarks will not infringe on the trademarks of other
companies or that other companies will not take action against the Company for trademark infringement. Upon
receipt of the formal Statement of Opposition from Triosyn, the Company, in consultation with its lawyers will
decide the course of action.
