Light by Solar Miss G Kazeem IP Violation, Counterfeit, Knock-off Bedfordshire Internet
I am writing in regards to MPOWERD's Intellectual Property relating to the Luci (r) solar powered lamp. The company entitled Light by Solar is branding and selling a knock off of MPOWERD's Luci (r) inflatable solar lantern. Light by Solar has branded the product as Pumplt.
As you can verify from press on MPOWERD's website, MPOWERD introduced a prototype of the Luci (r) lantern at least as early as June 2012. MPOWERD's patent application on the lamp was originally filed November 1, 2012 and MPOWERD now has U.S utility and design applications pending (Nos 13/926,336 and 29/457,682). I have attached the filing receipts for these applications. When these U.S applications issue in the United States MPOWERD will proceed with full vigor against infringers. I've also attached the Chinese Utility Patent for your review.
I understand that some resellers on Taobao and Alibaba are purchasing and branding knockoffs made by a company called Seksun in China. To give you an idea how the Seksun company does business, I have attached a copy of their order sheet, which includes a photograph of MPOWERD's product with the registered "Luci" trademark, as well as MPOWERD's copyrighted "Camping Trip" and woman with Luci and Bag photographs. Patent infringement aside, there is no doubt that the Seksun company is deliberately trading on MPOWERD's goodwill. Buyers for reputable retail chains have concluded likewise, that the Seksun product is a knock off. I do not know where the Seksun company originally obtained information relating to MPOWERD'd product, but I suspect it was through the factory where MPOWERD originally sourced the product.
I am also aware that Seksun purports to have patent rights on the rechargeable solar lamp and they list a Chinese Utility Model Patent number on the Order Sheet. You should also be aware that this utility model patent was filed November 15, 2012, after MPOWERD's priority filing; that utility model patents are not examined for patentability in China, and the utility model patent for Seksun has recently been invalidated by the Chinese Patent Review Board and pending appeal.
As a result of these circumstances, I urge you to refrain from supporting a company trading on MPOWERD's goodwill. I can not be certain that Light by Solar has sourced products from Seksun but must note that Light by Solar continues to trade knock off products. If they are sourcing unintentionally I encourage their representatives to reach out to MPOWERD and conduct honorable business and respect IP rights.

Lightbysolar global has no customer, no liaison and no connection with powered, their products and has no connection with any of the information including third party companies they mention in this malicious entry.
additionally, this has been relayed to them directly and they have taken personal information and used it to formulate a false claim alleging our company carries products which are fakes or copies of other products.
we have a catalog of thousands of products, they claim issues with one, supplied by a manufacturer who satisfied our due diligence and quality standards.
I am am a respectable person and have no factory in bedfordshire where I have a desire to produce a copy of their product.
Mpowered and and luck are not in any way clients or customers of ours and we have no understanding as to why they filed this detail which as at our last conversation, they deny posting.
at the same time we have received many Phisching emails from ripoff asking us to follow malicious links which browsers picked up.
we called the number in their email, they ran rings round us, finally asking us to pay thousands by credit card for them to remove the report.
as a respectable Muslim woman, after reading of all the oddities this company does do, which I discovered after their calls to demand credit card details, all I can leave this company with is a prayer.
Surah 113, Suratul Falaq
Bismillaah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem
Qul a’uudhu birabbil falaq
Min sharri ma khalaq
Wa min sharri ghaasiqin idhaa waqab
Wa min sharrin naffaathaati fil ‘uqad
Wa min sharri haasidin idhaa hasad
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn,
from anything harmful in Creation,
from the evil of darkness as it spreads,
from the evil of knotted spells,
from the evil of the envier when he envies.
