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.
