A Miami federal judge has ordered the company to shut down after it was accused of being a huge scam. In a class-action lawsuit, former customers allege that World Patent Marketing lied about the product’s ability to get worldwide patents, padded posterior enhancing jeans, and marijuana-crossbred fruit. The company also promised inventors that their ideas would become best sellers. Unfortunately, the products that were sold were not what customers were promised.
According to the lawsuit, World Patent Marketing is responsible for causing hundreds of thousands of people to lose their life savings and inheritances.
The company is owned by a Florida corporation called Desa Industries, Inc. and is operated by Scott Cooper. The FTC is seeking equitable relief for the victims. The company’s website shows that its website is not safe to visit. A spokesperson for World Patent Marketing did not respond to a request for comment.
In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege that World Patent Marketing allegedly defrauded its clients out of millions of dollars. This company also required their clients to pay nearly $25,000 for a “global invention royalty analysis” that failed to evaluate the marketability and patentability of the invention. The company alleged that the fees were unjustified and misled many of its clients into paying for unnecessary services. In the end, the lawsuit claims that the company had misled customers into accepting fees that did not match their actual earnings.
The case also accuses World Patent Marketing of intimidating its clients and threatening customers.
In the first instance, a federal judge found in favor of the plaintiffs, awarding them a total of $25,987,192. The company has yet to pay the money to the government, which is why the company was ordered to pay the lawsuit. However, Whitaker is not named among the defendants in this case.
The lawsuit is a class-action lawsuit filed by former clients against World Patent Marketing. The company’s operators were alleged to have harassed customers with emails and phone calls, and even threatened to sue dissatisfied customers with threats of criminal prosecution. However, the case was ultimately resolved in the plaintiff’s favor. The court ordered World Patent Marketing to pay $25,987,192 to the government. This is a massive sum of money, but Whitaker is not named as a defendant in the suit.
The lawsuit was filed by the FTC after the company failed to deliver on its promises.
The lawsuit accuses the company of misleading consumers, suppressing their reviews, and deceptive advertising. The complaint alleges that the defendants failed to properly compensate their clients and failed to protect them from financial loss. The lawsuit claims that the companies violated the federal antitrust laws. It is essential for consumers to protect their rights and to stop such practices.
The FTC has ruled against World Patent Marketing, in part because the company’s misrepresentations to potential customers were false and deceptive. These misrepresentations caused customers to lose money, and the FTC ordered the company to stop the practice. The firm has also settled the lawsuit. If the FTC finds that its actions were illegal, the defendants will be required to pay a $25,987 fine.
The company was found guilty of deceptive practices and is now being investigated by the Federal Trade Commission.
In the same lawsuit, the company’s owners have also been accused of fraud by the company’s employees. The company’s founder Scott Cooper has denied the allegations and has been forced to pay damages to their victims. The Federal Trade Commission has been looking into these claims since the company first began operating. But the case aims to protect the interests of consumers.
The FTC has filed a lawsuit against World Patent Marketing in the Southern Florida district court. The company was allegedly guilty of misleading consumers by claiming they had “patented” inventions and repaid customers. In addition, it threatened consumers with extortion and defamation if they filed a class action. This case has already been pending since 2014 and will continue to move forward. The FTC is confident in its case and will fight the lawsuit in court if it settles.
