5 Point Products by Dr Mauch are Being Illegally Copied - Holder of Rights Declares War 
on Falsifiers Worldwide 
 
KENILWORTH  and DUSSELDORF,  Feb 9 / PRNewswire - AsiaNet / -- 
 
    Based on old Chinese reflex zone therapies, the German physician and 
medic Dr Walter Mauch more than 20 years ago developed the "5 point reflex 
zone bed". This was the beginning of an unequalled success story. Today, the 
shoes "by Dr Mauch" are available in more than 100 countries, either as  
soles or as the base of a shoe. Demand has been steadily increasing over  
the years. 
 
    At recent international shoe trade fairs, there have been soles and  
shoes that have been promoted as "5 Zone - original reflex zone bed".  
These products, named "New Generation", are being marketed as legitimate 
successors of the products by Dr Mauch. In fact, these are copies 
that have nothing to do with the doctrines of Dr Mauch. German court orders 
are being ignored. These clone products arrive from China, Romania and Italy, 
flooding the European market. In Italy and France, the police are 
investigating.  
 
    The patents, brands and the know-how of Dr Walter Mauch are  
protected worldwide. All rights are directly or indirectly possessed by 
the Mauch family and their companies. These rights are incorporated in the  
limited company Integra l Mauch PLC and marketed worldwide. The allocation  
of licenses and production rights is linked with quality standards and  
security guidelines. 
 
    In order to assure the quality of products by Dr Mauch, new quality and  
security standards have been defined. These have been valid from November  
1st, 2009. It is our aim to unmask falsifiers. The moulding blanks of the  
soles which later on are mantled with leather or other materials are  
being produced according to clearly defined German standards. Shoes and  
soles may only be produced and marketed with the according licenses. Any  
misuse of brand is being pursued nationally and internationally.
