THIS MY LAST POST IS TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF WHY THIS BLOG WAS
STARTED, SO THAT YOU IF INTERESTED WILL WANT TO DELVE INTO IT AND FULLY
READ UP ON ALL THE FACTS & EVIDENCE SHOWN-SO THIS IS THE HISTORY OF ALL THE
ATTEMPTS OF CHRYSLER, THEN THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OFFICE (FORMERLY
THE PATENT OFFICE) TO STOP ME KEEPING THE TRADE MARK ‘VIPER’ WHICH I HAD
LEGALLY REGISTERED-THROUGH THEM!
BY READING THE WHOLE STORY YOU CANNOT BUT SEE THAT THE IPO, HAS PUT INTO THE WHOLE OF AN 8 YEAR PERIOD 2002 TO 2010, AND EVEN BACK TO 1992, AN ENORMOUS EFFORT TO STOP ME PROVING THEIR CORRUPT AND UNLAWFUL BEHAVIOUR. THEY HAVE GONE TO GREAT LENGTHS TO INFLUENCE EVERY DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE I HAVE GONE TO, EVERY POLITICIAN AND EVEN THE POLICE. WITH THE DORSET POLICE WHO WERE SO BRAINWASHED BY THE IPO AND BY PERSONALLY SLAGGING ME OFF TO SUCH AN EXTENT, THAT THE POLICE THOUGHT I WAS SUCH A WICKED PERSON WHO ONLY WANTED TO MAKE MONEY OFF THEM. (EVEN HAVING THE TEMERITY TO WRITING THIS BLOG) THAT THEY WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ME, RATHER THAN SEEING I WAS THE 'VICTIM' AND TO ALMOST PHYSICALLY ASSAULTING ME.....YOU HAVE TO ASK WHY DID THEY DO ALL THIS?????
Firstly, I should point out what the law says about the ownership of a Trade Mark. Common Law states that a person who starts to use a trade mark, if no one else was using it at that time in the UK, ownership would rest with them. Being unregistered with the IPO, you would not have easy protection for the Mark, but you would still be able to take legal action against any perpetrator, but you would have a longer and more difficult job to ‘prove’ your rights due to usage. and more costly too. One defence to you having first ownership rights, was to prove you started to use it long before anyone else trying to claim it, used it.
I started to use the T/M 'Viper' in early 1986 when I started to make my own version of a Cobra sports car. I made sure that the ownership of that valuable Mark rested with me and not by any limited company I may trade through. This is perfectly lawful as you licence the company you are trading with, to be able to use the T/M. In the beginning in 1986 I traded with the Cobra replica as 'BRIGHTWHEEL LTD, then in 1987 The investors wanted a clean & new company, so it then became BRIGHTWHEEL REPLICAS LTD. (BRL) Both those companies were licensed by me to use the 'Viper Trade Mark. Hence why I eventually on the break up of BRL in late 1989, I carried on trading as Classic Replicas and they too were licensed to use the T/M. In 2002 I gained full ownership/registration with the IPO of that Mark. On my retirement in 2002 I sold my company but not the trade mark and licensed the new owner-the Trade Mark. So you will see I had an unbroken ownership from 1986, but Chrysler and Busbridge-the stealer of my Cobra designs and eventually my Trade Mark, would claim without a shred of evidence ever shown to back up their lying claims and despite all the documentary evidence that I owned it and used it.
When I was faced
with Chrysler putting to the IPO a request in 1990 to register the mark
‘Viper’- I had already been using it since January/March 1986 and no
other car maker was using it on any other car. More importantly, even
though my car was advertised extensively and it featuring in many car
magazines and was shown at many car shows including the London Car
Show at Earls Court in 1987, where I got from that show a contract from a Japanese company to supply 100 Cobra and Lamborghini Countach replica cars a year. That prompted the BBC & ITV to feature my cars & business on their news programmes, as how a small British company had got this order to send sports cars to Japan. A coal to Newcastle story as it were-so we were now also famous in the small section of the UK car industry like Morgan & TVR. I was on my way to building up a fruitful and succesful small sportscar business which I hoped would set me up for the rest of my life- until all those dreams were trashed by big Yanky business and all helped by corrupt politicians/civil servants/& Police and a small time crook. Chrysler must have known this. They obviously thought that their might could easily squash a tiddler, like my company. I opposed Chrysler at great expense,(for me that is) but
won on my previous earlier use to Chryslers application date, and on on Common Law AND ON THE FACT THAT I PROVIDED MANY COPIES OF ADVERTS & WRITE-UPS PUBLISHED FROM 1986 TO 1998 TO THE HEARING. Had my Mark
been registered I could have simply opposed on the fact my mark was
clearly registered and clearly in use. I was simply too busy in the
first years, building up and handling all the business coming in, to
register the Mark and I in any case knew for the time being I had 'Common Law' protection. That was a huge mistake as you will see. I advise all businesses to start right away at the beginning of their business, to protect their IP-obviously-if they have any.
The new business I was carrying out, after my arrival in the UK in April 1985, from a 7 year stint in Australia where I built power boats from 15' to 35', so had experience with fiberglass and making items on a largish scale. Whilst there I decided that with my previous car experience, to build a Cobra Replica, but this was not possible to do in Oz at that time. So it was a back to Blighty exercise for me. I came back to the UK and started on a small scale, dealing in a small workshop with all things to do with cars, while I explored the UK world of 'Kitcars' I got going and covered, general workshop work-for sales and repairs of cars, servicing, valeting of cars and the sales of used cars. I also decided that to explore the kit car world, I would advertise a build-up service for people who had bought any make of kit, but could not actually build it themselves. I advertised this service in kit car magazines. All those areas of business were operated under the trade name of’ Cooks Cars’ After some months of business I started to look at getting into the business of selling a Cobra Replica kitcar, of my own design and at about September 1985 I decided it was viable to start building my own version of a Cobra replica so I started making a steel chassis and a fibreglass Cobra body. This was financed by my own money savings and under the banner of a limited company called Brightwheel Ltd that I had set up to cover any Cobra kitcar business I did. Here I must stress that Brightwheel Ltd started with no cash of its own and its start up was financed by a build up of a Cobra replica of the make of Dax, that we got straight away from a Bournemouth resident who saw my new advert in a kit car magazine and it provided forward financing, plus with my own money. The running of the workshop etc was financed by my other car work.
My forward planning
was to build up this Cobra business into one that specialised in
building FULL CARS which no other kit car manufacturer was offering.Due to my extensive World travel I knew that abroad most people would not want to build from a kit as in the UK, but to get a fully built car. I had built up experience of what was involved building up such products through my 7 year stint in Oz with my boat building business-designing and building power boats from 25' to 35'. Doing this is very similar to what I was about to embark on with the sportscars.
As well as manufacturing the Cobra in kit form and fully built. I would also design other replica kits. All this would need far more
money for working capital than I had. I also knew that if I was to
get this money from investors at some point in time, I may encounter problems
from investors. I had looked into the getting of investors for the expansion of my Oz power boat building business. So I knew I could in the future be
at risk of these investors taking over my company and the money I had
put into the start up and the build up, could be lost. If that
happened they would take from my possession the chassis jigs and the
moulds for the making of all the body parts. Anything that I could
not PROVE were actually belonging to me, as they had never been given
by me to Brightwheel Ltd at its inception, I would lose. All the
parts and purchases made by Brightwheel Ltd were paid for by the
monies that it generated from kits sold and fully built cars and would obviously belong to that company.
So it was obvious I just had to make sure there was documentary
evidence that I owned the jigs & moulds etc to the Cobra, from right at the beginning. All hand tools and my
own runabout car I had owned before Brightwheel Ltd was formed, would
carry on belonging to me.This was all done because I knew that if my business was to expand, at some time I would be looking for inward investment and who owned what was important to be clearly shown.
I determined that I
had to make up a document on Brightwheel Ltd company headed paper
pointing out that the jigs and moulds and the Intellectual Property
applied to those two items, AND also the Trade Mark 'Viper,' belonged to me,
as I had paid for them with my own money and had made them personally
and not as an employee of Brightwheel Ltd. There were words to that
effect and the document was also signed by my son Chris as a fellow
Director of the company. I started to get Cobra kit and full cars business quite quickly- we were off and running. I got orders in for I think it was three full cars, one for a Swiss guy who wanted to be an agent for us, one for a Rover dealer in High Wycombe and one for a Brit oil guy from Newcastle. plus of course I was selling kits a well. We moved to a larger workshop quite quickly and started to take on mechanics.
In 1992 I heard that Chrysler had put into the IPO an application to register the Trade Mark 'Viper'-of my Cobra Replica. I was very surprised they appeared to not know it was already being used by me as my use was well known. I now had to oppose their application and at this time I had a London agent for my car called Robert Busbridge & his brother Martin, trading as Cobretti Engineering, this from early 1988. However at the same time as Chrysler started their application Busbridge started to copy my Viper. Then it became clear that Chrysler had been contacted by him saying he was the owner of the Mark. So my Patent Agent explained to Chrysler he had no rights as he was my agent since 1988 and supplied to them a copy of our agency agreement that I had made up and had been signed by the two brothers, Martin and Robert Busbridge.
All these factors and points were given in my evidence to the IPO when I was forced to oppose the Chryslers 1992 registration application. At the hearing in London in 1998, (Note it took the IPO 6 whole years to have the hearing!!) my Patent Agent stressed all of the above, but Chryslers lawyers played a dirty game by ignoring this evidence and only accusing me of forging the Agency document-that me and the Busbridges had agreed on and had signed. NO other legal evidence was offered up by Chrysler. The forgery accusation was to blacken my name and integrity, so as to say in effect, that my words and evidence given to the IPO, could not be relied on. One thing they did come up with was that I could not own the intellectual rights as they were owned by....and get this…..BRIGHTWHEEL REPLICAS LTD. Yet that limited company was not made up until 1987 when I did a deal with two American Investors in London, to put in £100,000 as working capital and to aid the expansion of my Cobra business. THEY INSISTED THAT A NEW AND CLEAN LIMITED COMPANY WAS FORMED THAT COULD NOT POSSIBLY HAVE ANY ENCUMBRANCES ON IT AND THAT WAS BRIGHTWHEEL REPLICAS LTD (BRL). So you see, not only did Brightwheel Ltd NOT own the rights to any Intellectual Property in the Cobra Replica named ‘Viper’ and DID NOT SELL OR PASS OVER TO THE NEW INVESTORS THOSE RIGHTS, AS IT DID NOT OWN THEM ANYWAY-I DID! Any suggestion IT DID was not only a lie generated by Busbridge to Chrysler, but was not backed up by any evidence it did and this is seen in the comprehensive legal documents made up by a London lawyer. When the investors and I did our deal to amalgamate. In them there was absolutely no mention of IP rights as they were not included in the deal. Of course I told the hearing officer this at the hearing and he had the documentary evidence that I owned it and IT HAD nothing to do with Brightwheel Ltd and definitely not Brightwheel Replicas Ltd. Plus the legal documents that plainly documented what WAS handed over to the company-BRIGHTWHEEL REPLICAS LTD and they DID NOT EVEN MENTION HANDING OVER ANY TRADE MARK OWNERSHIP OR THE RIGHTS TO THE DESIGN OF THE COBRA CHASSIS & BODY or the jigs & moulds I had made for the first Cobra replica. (Note; that why was the ownership of the chassis & jigs part of the Chrysler hearing, was not mentioned in that hearing, as it only concerned the ownership of the Trade Mark ‘Viper’). These facts are very important, as later on they will show how the IPO deliberately, through its own Hearing Officers and in all future tribunal hearings that were held, chose to ignore all these facts that they certainly knew about, from what was in evidence at their Chrysler hearing.
I have always suspected that Chrysler and the IPO thought that I was going to lose this Chrysler hearing and this because of certain comments Hearing Officers made during future Tribunal Hearings. Back to Chrysler, for they put in an appeal to the High Court against my winning the 1986 IPO Tribunal Hearing-they had instigated. I never got to see what the grounds they used to have an Appeal granted and it is my understanding of the ‘Rules’-you cannot get granted an appeal hearing unless you have certain grounds like the hearing was not properly heard etc or you have new evidence and so on, and they had non. You CANNOT just say “I didn’t like the ruling, so I want to dispute it and want an appeal”. So that raises great suspicions for me as to exactly why Chrysler was allowed to appeal….? Where the IPO & Chrysler in cahoots?? I had to wait years to see if they were going to go ahead with their appeal as they just sat on it. So from 1998 I was waiting for the relevant paperwork from the High Court, that they were going ahead with the Appeal. At that point they would have show what grounds they were relying on and at the time I could not afford to take on a lawyer who could deal with all that anyway and certainly not with a High Court action. IP lawyers earn the most money per hour of most lawyers and this don’t forget was a High Court action.
Chrysler used Robert Busbridge at that hearing in 1998 as their one and only 'witness' and you should at this point know that in 1992 when Busbridge heard Chrysler were on the scene, he hatched a plan to copy my Cobra in full, pinch the Trade Mark too and present himself to Chrysler as the legit owner of the Viper Cobra business, but would sell Chrysler the T/M for £500K....HOW'S THAT FOR EXTREME CRIMINAL CHEEK?? BUT CHRYSLER SWALLOWED IT and took him on as a witness to trash me as a FORGER of the agency agreement we signed back in 1990. All that was to have disastrous consequences to my business, for in 1990 we started a recession which cut down kit and car sales. I also had to get rid of the Yanks as they had failed to raise all the cash needed to finance the big Jap order or for anything else. So at the end of 1989 I resigned from Brightwheel Replicas Ltd and they went on their way and because I owned the majority of the companies assets-tools and kit making jigs and moulds, I obviously kept them and was able to carry on making the Cobra kits and cars ( I dropped the Lambo replica as sales were not high enough), but now with my new company 'Classic Replicas' Busbridge from 1990, carried on in London as my agents for Classic Replicas-for up to now they had done a reasonable job as agents - until Chrysler appeared that is and Roberts criminal mind swung into gear. ALL THIS SHOWS THAT ONE SHOULD AT THE BEGINNING REGISTER ALL YOUR IP AND BE CAREFUL TAKING ON AGENTS.
Whilst I'd won against Chrysler I still did not get rego of the T/M as Chrysler went the High Court and put in an appeal, as I've said, but sat on that until 2001. THAT MEANT WHILE I COULD CARRY ON USING MY T.M SO COULD BUSBRIDGE, AS NEITHER OF US HAD REGO AND THAT MEANT EVERY SALE HE MADE FROM HIS COPY OF MY CAR-I LOST OUT ON THOSE SALES. IN EFFECT I SUFFERED FROM COMPETITION FROM MY OWN DESIGNS AND I COULD DO NOTHING!!!!!....- HOW SICKENING AND IT HELD ME BACK NO END AND I HAD STILL TO FIGHT CHRYSLER.
At the point in
time in this sordid story, I was coming up to the Millennia at the end of 1999 and I was faced with a business that was not
even-in some years, making a good living wage, because of the actions
of my ex London agent-Busbridge. I was on the brink of what do I do? Even if I won against Chrysler and this by my taking on a IP lawyer. But to further fuck up my mind,
something happened that made me wonder about continuing the
business, anyway. As early one morning the Bournemouth Police knocked on my door and
charged me with forgery, perjury and perverting the course of
justice. Busbridge had at last been successful in getting the
Metropolitan Police (using an ex Met cop-his best friend, to use his influence to get the Met to act on his telling them I had forged the
Agency Agreement. This ex cop obviously got his ex cop mates in the Met to take it on and to stuff me totally. You have to know that earlier, right after me winning against Chrysler he had tried to get the Met to charge me, but they rebuffed him-yet now years later they suddenly came to his rescue. That shows the ex cop now had managed to get them to act against me.
So now I was faced with having to put up with a parallel pair of legal actions of fighting Chrysler and then having to fight the scurrilous Police/Busbridge action.That was about the alleged forgery of a document that was so rediculous-for why would I need to forge the Agency agreement when it was well known in the kitcar world that he was my agent and I even put into my adverts for the car, that my London agent was him, plus mag write ups on the Viper plus a video of Busbridges demo car, made by a kit car magazine which all said he was my London agent?? Did Chrysler or the IPO have a hand in getting the police to waste Public money on a case they could never win?? Thankfully I was able to defend this because it was an alleged
criminal act, so I got a lawyer on legal aid. As it
is not directly to do with how corrupt the IPO are, I will not go into
all the details of how that County Court case went, or the criminality of Dorset Police's actions in it-they can be seen in the blog and book. It took
until a time in 2000 to to be heard and to finish-I WON EASILY and Busbridge was shown
in court to be the consummate liar he was. The jury saw through him easily and only took 20 minutes to find me not guilty. Thankfully I managed after a fight, to get a decent Barrister to conduct my defence. One thing I will say, is that again it appears to me that the IPO had a hand in the criminal case, as the Dorset Police would have had to liase with them in order to get facts about my connections with the Trade Mark and the Chrysler case, which they were conducting. Plus Chrysler sent a lawyer to watch over the proceedings and I spoke with him-why was he there? (Further on in this story and you will see the facts in this blog,) the IPO liased closely with the Dorset Police and fed them with absolute lies about the perjury Busbridge committed in all his IPO hearings....this in order to help the Police nobble me in my efforts to have Busbridge charged with perjury/perverting the course of justice and forgery AND TO GET ME OUT OF THE WAY & IN PRISON - THEY HOPED!
From 1992 my Cobra business had suffered greatly from all the actions of Chrysler/Busbridge and the IPO and by 1999 I had had enough of waiting for the Chrysler to start their appeal, so was forced to scrape together enough money to take the plunge and appoint an IP lawyer to contact Chrysler and tell them to ‘put up or shut up’ over whether they were going to appeal the hearing and the registration of the 'Viper' Trade Mark, I had won. For I could not actually be granted the registration of the Trade Mark ‘Viper’ until the Chrysler versus myself action was finished and I had won and could then be given registration. After some time with letters etc between my lawyer and Chrysler, they dropped their action and I was at last in 2002 given registration by the IPO. At this point you should understand that ‘BY LAW’ they just had to do this, so it would not appear they were willing to break the law. Also understand that the IPO then informed me re Busbridge putting in his opposition to my getting rego-just days after granting me registration! This, when everything before that, they took weeks and months to do anything. It was blindingly obvious that they had all the paperwork etc -all sitting there waiting in the background and just waiting for the off signal. But get this; FOR IMMEDIATELY THE IPO INFORMED ME THAT I HAD REGISTRATION THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT MY LONG SACKED EX AGENT-BUSBRIDGE, WAS APPLYING TO OPPOSE MY REGISTRATION !!!
It should be
remembered that at the 1998 hearing between me and Chrysler,
Busbridge had acted as the one & only witness for Chrysler by
stating I had forged our Agency agreement and that I did not own the Mark as BRL owned it. (Now ask yourselves how did he know this-he obvoiusly just lied and made it all up. He even offered
to sell my Trade Mark Viper to them for £500,000 even though
he had no proof he legally owned it and all those facts were in
my evidence to the IPO, at that hearing. It is obvious that Busbridge fed Chrysler with these lies about who owned what in my business when there was no evidence he could know any of this. This because he knew nothing about the crucial information as to how I conducted all my company business from day one. He admitted this in court in the later forgery court case. For how would Chrysler know anything about all that, but Busbridge thought he knew, because of our tie up and the agency they had with me and which gave him an incomplete insight into day to day company workings. Plus I had never discussed with him the detailed inside info as to how I started up and conducted the serious matters concerning IP etc. So the IPO KNEW all about the
dishonesty of Busbridge, from my evidence at that hearing, yet here
the IPO were allowing him to oppose my just given Registration-BY THEM! IN OTHER WORDS THEY KNEW THAT BUSBRIDGE WAS A STEALER OF OTHERS I/P AND A CONSUMATE LIAR, YET HE WAS SWEET AS YOU LIKE IN THE IPO's EYES TO OPPOSE MY REGISTRATION. HIS OPPOSITION TO MY TRADE MARK WAS DONE TO USE IP PARLANCE-'MADE IN 'BAD FAITH'-AS HE KNEW FULL WELL I LEGITIMATELY OWNED THE MARK FROM EARLY 1986-BUT THAT MATTERED NOT A JOT TO THE IPO....WHY WAS THAT YOU MAY ASK???
This action of his was not a new and isolated action-but a carry on
action from the Chrysler case which had just been wrapped up, with
my winning the case and thus giving me registration. The IPO have a duty when receiving any
application from the Public to make sure it and the application is a
bona-fide one and made in 'good faith'. They knew full well that it had been pointed out to
them and with documentary evidence, that Busbridge had been my agent and
could therefore could have no claim to the Mark, ‘Viper’ They also knew
the FACTS that he had had no use on his own merit, of that Mark AND
that any use of it from Jan 1987 was as my AGENT. All this from the
Chrysler hearing. He was using the same points that I had not owned
the rights to the Mark as Brightwheel Replicas Ltd had owned those
rights.That info he'd, as I have said - he gave to Chrysler, as this was EXACTLY the same point that Chrysler had made
AND the IPO Hearing Officer had obviously thought that was incorrect
on the evidence of my use etc, and decreed that I had the rights to the Mark through my use-hence
his decision and my therefore winning registration. Yet now the IPO apparently
thought otherwise, when it came to Busbridges application to oppose
the registration they had given me…..what was going on here???? All
my protestations about all this were ignored......AND THAT CONTINUED RIGHT UP TO THE END IN 2010.
On the topic of the IPO subjecting applications to register a Mark and my points above that any application should be be scrutinised, one has to ask how was it that Chrysler was even allowed as they were, to have their application to register what was my Mark? They were not even in 1992, selling their USA car in the UK and under the name of Viper. So it was clear they had no previous use of it in this country. Also they had not put it out in any way, that I had ever seen, in any of the press, that they were going to start selling their sports car they called in the US by the name of Viper-all over Europe and including the UK. In fact they, as I am sure, did not even start to sell it in the UK until well after 1992. So this all raises more questions as to exactly what clout or closeness did any Chrysler employee have with the IPO, that enabled them to make their early 1990 application??? It must be seen and understood that if it ever were exposed that there was jiggery-pokery between a UK government department and Ministers and a US car manufacturer with them being able to twist the rules....there surely would have been an outcry in our press?? There is a link between what Chrysler did and to what DeLorean and our Government got up to, with millions of British tax payers money being lost and which is important here. In that debacle, there was humongous collaboration and jigger-pokery going on between government ministers etc and DeLorean. Which as usual was all hushed up by our politicians when the press & others raised questions. On top of that, it is a well known fact that big American businesses use their muscle to get what they want and even to manipulating governments everywhere. If I have been subjected here to this kind of corruption, then it explains why what went on and what can be seen in my story and it is all seen in this blog, and what has resulted by all the actions perpetrated against me by our Establishment and USING THEIR MIGHT & POWER TO DO SO !!!!
Yet here was the IPO
ignoring all that and allowing Busbridge to put in this opposition
application. 'Court Rules' are-that any Legal Action has to be
scrutinised by the Courts (including the IPO hearings that are
semi-judicial and have to follow all court rules), before it is
allowed to proceed. Otherwise if all applications for Court Hearings
about anything, were just rubber stamped and be allowed to go ahead,
the Courts would be overflowing with facetious actions that have no
legal merit to be allowed to even start. This action as I say was not
new to the IPO and was as fresh in their minds as it could be…..YET
THEY FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON TO ME, ALLOWED IT TO BE ACCEPTED. Now
here one has to ask why was this so? especially as I immediately
protested by putting all this to them…..but THEY COMPLETELY IGNORED
ALL I POINTED OUT TO THEM AND AGAIN ONE HAS TO ASK WHY WAS THIS SO??? As
far as I am concerned it smacks of jiggery-pokery and going forward
one can see this-again and again from the IPO and the POLICE.(And later on from the whole of the justice system and politicians right up to the Prime Ministers- 2 of them !)
After Busbridge had
started his actions against me, he went Bankrupt and just before that, he split up
with his brother and fellow partner. So legally speaking he had no
rights to continue his legal action against my registration and the
IPO knew all that, as I made sure they knew he was a bankrupt-but again they chose to
ignore me. So what does the crook do? He manufactures an ‘assignment’
to take the ownership of his rights to the Mark (which at that stage is not even legally owned by him) away from his ownership and to a limited
company he had illegally set up to receive it. (illegal as he was a
bankrupt) and as a bankrupt-how could he be a director of a limited
company?? On this point in his evidence, he claimed that that company, he'd set up just before his opposition hearing which was
heard in early 2004, had assigned it back to himself, as now he was out of
bankruptcy. So now he could say that he could legally own it-AGAIN and neatly for this case- ALL HIGHLY ILLEGAL!!! but what could I do without the money to fight it legally and in the courts and they all knew this was so. I was onto a good old shafting by them all.
Despite all my pointing out all the criminality of his evidence and the continuous lies – all backed up with documentary evidence, the IPO still went ahead with a hearing date in London in early 2004. So they had not taken any notice of the fact that they were acting against all the court rules about evidence etc. That hearing was an utter sham and I had to fight it as a self litigant, as I could not afford a lawyer. The Hearing Officer was a grumpy old git who made it clear that he did not like ‘self litigants’ but that stated dislike was directed at me only- ( see all this on the post on that hearing) as Busbridge was also a self-litigant. Thus starting a non stop process of making the whole hearing a one sided affair which once again that the IPO wanted me to lose this hearing.
I showed in all my
evidence-all backed up with documents, that Busbridge was a serial
liar, who was not only trying to fool the IPO, but had started the
action as a bankrupt. Among all his serial lies he had made a big
deal about my having been arrested in 1999 for forgery. I protested
to that 2004 Hearing Officer that that was inadmissible and had nothing to do with
whether I legally owned the Mark Viper and I had been found ‘NOT
GUILTY' Astonishingly he then said to me; “Yes
but you were tried under Criminal Law and in my opinion had you been
tried under Civil Law, you would have been found
guilty” YOU SIMPLY COULD NOT MAKE IT UP !… for here was a
Judge who is supposed to be INDEPENDENT of both parties, making it
plain in effect that he was against me, as I really was an escapee from justice-a criminal!! Had I had a lawyer I am sure at this point
he would have claimed this made the hearing Null & Void because
of the Hearing Officer was plainly BIASED. This all shows that the
IPO had an agenda against me, for how could that hearing officer know exactly how a Judge hearing a civil case would think about the evidence put forward and my evidence showed exactly why the alleged forgery could not have been a forgery done by me. Plus of course later on Martin appeared to back up that indeed they did sign the agreement !!
After that charade, I got his decision in very short order, which again raised suspicions and it was that I had lost, which was EXACTLY what I thought it would be. In my defence against all the humongous amount of lies in ALL his evidence and all the obvious lies I proved he had told, especially about the illegal assignments. I created merry hell to the IPO afterwards. After some months of the usual waiting, the IPO amazingly told me that they had given the whole affair to another Hearing Officer to go over it all and eventually he decreed that in no way could Busbridge be said to be able to be the rightful owner of my Mark. He gave many reasons for this decision but it meant-but in my opinion omitted many other reasons which I have pointed out to you thus far-but at least they good enought to have got rid of him for good SO I THOUGHT, an end to it all….HOW WRONG I WAS!! However you MUST note that I was never told when or were that new hearing would be held, so I was kept completely out of it, yet I believe that Busbridge did attend it- thus more evidence that the IPO were trying to stitch me up!! It is my belief that the IPO thought that that hearing would go for Busbridge and it didn’t (maybe the H/O was too independent for him to cook it for them). Now what would they do to get round this set back??
Given all the evidence I had given, which showed that Busbridge was a serial liar prepared to break the law AND that one of their own Hearing Officers had decreed he could not in law and for various reasons, claim ownership. But as I have just said, not all the reasons given, were I felt covered all the reasons that I lay out in this blog and he should have given them too, in his decsion. Looking back I think the IPO cleverly moulded the reasons given, so they could allow an opening for Busbridge to go on a start another go at taking away my Mark.
And that 'opening' was they allowed Busbridge to now put in an application to appeal this latest set back he suffered and ONCE AGAIN THE IPO SHOWED THEY WERE PREPARED TO BREAK THE RULES OF BEING LEGALLY ABLE TO APPEAL. Which as I have said, have to be that the Judge, or in this case the Hearing Officer, erred in law, or went to sleep or was drunk, THAT HE DID NOT OBVIOUSLY UNDERSTAND THE LAW or there was now compelling NEW EVIDENCE !! What did the IPO now do??….they just rubber stamped his application even though he offered puerile reasons that did not hold legal water, for being given an appeal- YET ANOTHER WAY THE IPO SHOWED THEY WERE SO WILLING TO BREAK THE LAW AND THEIR OWN RULES, IN ORDER TO BREAK ME….KNOWING I HAD NO LEGAL BACK-UP AND WAS FIGHTING ON MY OWN. THEY OBVIOUSLY THOUGHT I WOULD NOT BE UP TO IT TO FIGHT THEM AND I WAS TOO STUPID TO KNOW THE LAW ETC !!
What now happened laid it all out in the open as to the corruptness of the IPO and the UK Justice System. The IPO now set up for Busbridge an Appeal Hearing that he should never have got and once again I was told I could not attend it, as astonishingly ‘I was not a party to it’ CAN YOU ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THAT?-AS IT WAS ALL ABOUT BUSBRIDGE TRYING TO TAKE OVER MY LEGALLY REGISTERED MARK. So again yet another pointer to the fact the IPO were determined to 'Fuck' me any which way they could. For what then happened behind my back and at this hearing, is an epitome of how the Establishment are a law unto themselves and ONLY THE VERY RICH CAN FIGHT THEM FOR JUSTICE.
After this latest hearing which was not held before an IPO Hearing
Officer and once again, I believe is yet another pointer to their
absolute deviousness, because Busbridge asked for this Appeal Hearing
to be held this time, in front of an alleged squeaky clean ‘Appointed
Person’ This is a lawyer who is allegedly not connected to the IPO
(in fact he worked for the Government Law DPT) and this is allowed
to happen if litigant feels the IPO have not treated him to date, in a
proper way etc. That in itself raises questions and eyebrows, as I
think the IPO were on the whole treating Busbridge with kid gloves
and were actually acting for him. So once again the IPO showed how corrupt
they are, by not telling me where or when this latest hearing would
be heard and they even told me I had no right to attend it. Obviously
they wanted to manipulate it to their own ends AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT
THEY ENDED UP DOING. It is obvious to me that by using Hobbs QC they hoped to legitimise and manipulate the hearing and no one would lift an eyebrow. because here was the most respected and well known Barrister QC in IP, running the hearing. and not them. You can see all this in this blog and what went on at that hearing before Judge Hobbs QC. Read the transcript. Hobbs, if you read up on his history does/or did a huge amount of work for and in conjunction with the IPO. So much so, only a naive fool would think he could possibly be completely 100% independent of them and you can by reading his transcript and between the lines, see how pally he is with the IPO's Head of their Law department- a Mr James who should not even have been present...IT STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.
Also after the hearing, I should have had to only wait max 4 weeks for
the outcome. Yet months and months went on with no decision coming
out. My continual complaints and even my MP getting involved and complaining-the excuse was
always…..”Well it was heard by Appointed Person and any decision
document is up to him, so it’s out of our hands." It went on for
about a year and eventually I was told that there had been no
decision as Busbridge had dropped the case!-CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?? what really was happening in that long long wait, was Busbridge was trying to carry out the instructions Hobbs had illegally given him, in order to enable the IPO to be able to go on with their scheme to totally 'Fuck me' and that is exactly what happened......ALL TOTALLY ILLEGAL BUT THEY AS THEY ARE-'THE ESTABLISHMENT'-THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH IT, AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO-FOR I HAD TO HOPE THE ESTABLISHMENT WOULD ALLOW ME TO GET JUSTICE-WHICH OF COURSE YOU CAN SEE IF YOU READ ALL THIS BLOG-WILL SEE IT & ALL AND THE EVIDENCE-THAT THEY HAVE SYSTEMATICALLY 'FUCKED' ME TO THE POINT OF DEATH!! ( for as I am now at 83 and with the usual health problems one gets at this age...how long is it away??)
Well by now I would hope you cannot believe anything re what has gone on. The fact is the IPO knew full well what had gone on as they had had their own Law Department Manager Mr James attending that hearing and he knew that the case had been dropped-so no decision, but why did they lie and for such a long time and give out the lies that they could do nothing AND even to my MP???. It was obviously to stall me while Busbridge tried to carry out the illegal help the Lawyer had given him and the directions he had been told to carry out-to resurrect his case and save it !!!!!!!
ONCE AGAIN-YOU CAN READ ALL THE DETAILS OF WENT WENT ON IN THAT
CORRUPT & ILLEGAL HEARING -WITHIN THIS BLOG.
But it was overwhelmingly clear to me now that I was well and truly stitched up and what happened in the lead up to what really was a non existent 'Appeal Hearing' and afterwards, was all worked out by the IPO in order to get back on track on how the IPO could, for reasons I can never fathom, get their wish to Fuck me and take off me, my Trade Mark and give it to Busbridge.
But after this point I decided as I am a fighter to try to not let them get away with all this corruption and so there was a further two legal hearings to try and stop Busbridge from being able to carry out what he was told to do by the Corrupt ‘Appointed Person-Judge Hobbs QC’ and the IPO. Needless to say the IPO made sure I lost both. But even so at this point Busbridge was still not in possession of my Mark and I could still appeal the last decision they would make when I appealed the last corrupt decision that I lost. So I borrowed a lot of money and took on a local IP company of lawyers, to oppose that ruling. I went over with all the evidence and history, but to a lawyer who I always thought was too young and ‘DID HE HAVE THE EXPERIENCE’ ?? Looking back I should have made him go over all the biasedness as shown above, but that would have made the sessions longer and would have cost me more than I could afford. So my lawyers evidence relied mostly on legal terms which even so, should have won it, especially as now I had as a witness-non other than Busbridges brother Martin who had suddenly appeared back in the UK and who came to me to act as my witness to all his brothers criminal actions and who backed up all I claimed about his brothers criminality in the early days of them stealing from me, my Mark, which they knew they had no right to.
To cut it short, there was a hearing in London in 2010 and straight
away it was clear that the IPO had put in place a Rottweiler of a
Hearing Officer-Salthouse. Amazingly he started of by stating the IPO was sick
of this case as it had now rumbled on for so long-taking up the IPO’s
time. That statement alone shows that I was in for a hiding and so it
was. For he then went on to amazingly claim that in effect the IPO
had made a mistake (he did not elucidate what or when that mistake
was) So now they had to put it right. He went through the evidence my
lawyer had put in and rubbished it all. But tellingly my young lawyer
did not stand up to him and showed him far too much respect and he should have asked what was the mistake?
The evidence from Busbridge’s brother was obviously treated as one that could not be taken as bona-fide as he obviously had a ‘thing’ against his brother over their early partnership break up! So the decision which again took forever to come out was that I had again lost. A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE-AGAIN. My lawyer then tried to get me to appeal and told me he could not understand how the IPO had treated me from day one and in this latest hearing and get away with it and I had good grounds to appeal. I simply could not afford to do that, especially as it would have to be done in the HIGH COURT and so I had to let it all go. For since 2002 I had had to give up my business due to the extremely low turnover and then in that year I had a massive heart attack which I think was brought on by all the stress I had endured by it all upto then, and especially nearly being sent to prison for the (non existent) ‘forgery’ case.
For those who have read this blog, I should point out again, what I said about the Dorset Police and what they they had done in 2010 after the last IPO hearing. I recently after going through old documents on all this and had been reminded of what the Dorset Police did when I went back to them after that hearing. To remind you I had gone to the Police before the hearing to get them to investigate all Busbridges perjury in all the hearings (8 Plus the forgery allegation that the Dorset Police had a corrupt hand in). The Police had told me that they had contacted the IPO and had been told THEY WOULD DEAL WITH THE ALLEGED PERJURY AT THAT 2010 HEARING-WHICH AS YOU HAVE TO SEE THEY NEVER DID NOR NO DOUBT HAD ANY INTENTION TO DO SO. So after the hearing I was back at the door of the Dorset Police and telling them I had a comprehensive dossier on the whole of all the perjury WITH EVIDENCE and as the IPO had as I thought they would-had failed to deal with the perjury-so now would he deal with it?
This cop (Brimicombe) told me to hand the dossier over and he would look at it and get back to me. WHAT DID HE DO ?-STRAIGHT ON THE PHONE/EMAIL TO THAT BLOKE AT THE IPO (HAYWOOD). To be fed with lies about me and the legality of my alleging perjury etc. The worst allegation Haywood made out about me to this cop (that I knew of) out of the IPwas I was only trying to make money out of the IPO and perjury could not happen in a tribual hearing as no oath was taken at them. AGAIN YOU COULD NOT MAKE THIS UP-Do read post Number 39 and others, to get the full details of that meeting and see the full extent of ALL OF THE CORRUPTNESS & LAW BREAKING THAT DORSET POLICE HEAPED UPON ME FROM 1999. (AS IF THE CORRUPTNESS OF THE IPO WASN'T ENOUGH!!) AS AN ASIDE I HAVE TO TELL YOU I REPORTED ALL THIS TO THEIR CHIEF CONSTABLE BUT AGAIN GOT NOWHERE AND ONLY TO SEE THAT THIS CORRUPT COP HAD ACCUSED ME AMONGST OTHER UNKNOWNS TO ME-ACCUSATIONS OF ME SWEARING & SHOUTING AT OUR MEETING. Like I am so stupid not to know that doing that would go against me when I was trying to get the help of the Police!! (AS AN ASIDE I COULD GIVE ANYONE INVESTIGATING THE DORSET POLICE, INFORMATION OF NO LESS THAN 8+ INSTANCES OF INCOMPETENCE WITH CORRUPTNESS, & CRIMINALITY IN ALL 8 CASES I HAVE UNLUCKILY HAD TO BE INVOLVED IN WHERE THEY WERE ALSO INVOLVED-THEY HAVE A STINKING REPUTATION IN THEIR AREA. BUT THEN ARE THERE ANY POLICE FORCES IN THE WHOLE OF THE UK THAT ARE THE EPITOMY OF COMPETENCE & CLEANLINESS????????) YOU SHOULD KNOW I HAVE NO CRIMINAL RECORD-EVER.
I had decided to press on fighting the IPO over all that they had done against me and the corruptness of it all and partly ‘on principle’ and maybe I could if I could get rid rid of Busbridge early on, obtain a payment from Chrysler for the Mark-if they still wanted it and that was an open question. At least by stretching it out, I stopped Busbridge selling it to them, but by 2010 they had lost interest in the Viper Mark as their sale of their Viper in Europe was a huge failure anyway. But it had all cost me dearly in health and money and my business and that had all this not happened, my business could have gone on to greatness as most of my competitors all went onto run healthy Cobra businesses, earning them all good money….such is life!
EVERY ACTION BY THE
IPO GOING FORWARD FROM GIVING ME REGISTRATION SMACKS OF A DESIRE BY
THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THE VIPER TRADE MARK THEY HAD JUST GIVEN ME,
DID NOT REMAIN IN MY CONTROL AND OWNERSHIP. Was it being done on
behalf of Chrysler for some reason and was someone high up involved in that-hence why everything that was done throughout. Also why is it that in this blog I have as you can see, not minced my words and accusations, but none of it has attracted any reaction or legal action from those I have accused. For if they had and I had ended up in a court, then they would have been exposed in court with all of my evidence. Thus I think that explains the silence. IE How I have excoriated Hobbs QC for his criminal actions, for one-he perverted the course of justice and that is a criminal act. Yet even tho' I have openly said that, he has remained quiet!!!!! Another way someone has had influence with the IPO or others is the fact that the Busbridge bothers had a rich and almost certainly influencial Father. He was a pilot for a large UK aviation company and was Public school educated. Amazingly the two Busbridge brothers were also public school educated. That all raises the question .....DID THEIR FATHER KNOW THE RIGHT PEOPLE????? A BIG BUT FEASABLE QUESTION IN THE IS ROTTEN CLASS RIDDEN COUNTRY.
Or had some civil servant or servants decided they did not like me because I never minced my words when dealing with them over the years, from 1992 onwards? About how their incompetence and slowness throughout was slowly ruining my business and my life, so I complained again and again over all this. ONE DOES HAVE A RIGHT TO DO THIS WHEN ONES LIFE AND BUSINESS IS BEING SLOWLY STRANGLED. SO WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD NOT BE VERY ANNOYED. Now here some time later, over another legal action I was involved in, but nothing to do with Intellectual Property or any business matter, but something of a minor nature, I had the services of a Barrister QC who was a South African and no admirer of the British Judicial system. He told me that when dealing with British civil servants one had to be careful how you dealt with them, so as not to upset them in any way. For they could deliberately go out of their way to ‘Fuck you up’ I’ve seen and first hand too and a number of times, that this is absolutely true in other cases where civil servants have obviously been allow to swing cases. Plus you read of other cases of our useless civil servants totally fucking up the country, their departments and many peoples lives.
This is EXACTLY what I think has happened to me. Because I was so frustrated and quite rightly so, at the way civil servants were fucking up my life and my business with their slowness and incompetence, all along the way from 1992 to the 1998 Chrysler hearing and then allowing Busbridge to even have his opposition to my Viper registration be accepted in 2002. Where they doing this because I had made many complaints along that way, over their incompetence and extreme slowness. Think about it. The Chrysler action was not an incredibly complicated one and SIX years to bring it to Court was completely EXCESSIVE, so all along the way I had good reason to be totally pissed of about the way the IPO were behaving and to rightly complain about it all-as it was ruining my business and therefore my life, which was be affected by a lessening of my earnings to survive on. Not to mention the mental strain of dealing with all this.
One last point I have to make is how the Establishments corrupt actions can again be seen when a couple of years back when I just could not get over the way that Hobbs QC could get off with his perverting the course of Justice at that secret illegal hearing he officiated in. So I decided to put into the very head of our Justice system who at that time was Buckland QC a copy of that transcript which clearly shows all the ways Hobbs illegally acted, plus my annotations in the margins also showing his illegal actions in what he had said. To do this I would have to go through my local MP one Tobias Ellwood a posh nob from the UK Establishment if ever there was one. But he had to do his job and so it went in to Buckland.
Eventually I got his opinion letter and inevitably it was no more than a short letter trashing that transcript and all I had put forwards about it. See the transcript on this blog and his letter in this blog. My MP refused to stand up for me and to take it up with Buckland, as he knew it would do him no good to do so, in his obvious 'up the greasy pole ladder climbing' to get to be PM. Thankfully Boris did not like him and pushed him to the sidelines, but that did not help me and I hope in the General Election this year of 2024 he gets kicked out.
AUG 2023. A FOOTNOTE. Just recently there has been in the media a big story about how a citizen was stitched up by the Establishment doing the same things they have done to me over the past 30+ years. Thankfully their actions to put ME IN PRISON WAS THWARTED AND I AM FREE, EVEN IF MY LIFE GOT STUFED. However with this person, a Mr Malkinson he was not as lucky as myself-if you can say that I was 'lucky' !! He at around the early 2000's, got done by our incompetent and corrupt legal system and of course our equally corrupt POLICE, over an allegation of a rape......which he never committed.!!! Here is another example of just how sick this country now is. For our wonderful Justice System treats a person who is given a jail term and in this case I think it was 12 years. NOW GET THIS....If a person is innocent they obviously will continually say so and the sick way our system works is that he/she will not get released until they admit 'guilt'....they could die in jail and just how sick is that??So Mr Malkinson never got released when his time was up.
He did eventually did get released, but only by the efforts of his lawyer and others after doing 17 years to that stage. His lawyer said he was continually thwarted by the quango that is supposed to look at miscarriages and that again is another example (like how I was treated by the Establishment) of how our Establishment just will not admit to any wrong doing.. Of course this has now been picked up by our Media and Press, but I say many years late... why were they not highlighting his case decades back??? Then in a sickening twist, last night on ITV10pm news-WE GET THAT SICK SELF AGGRANDISING ASSHOLE-BUCKLAND, RAILING ON ABOUT THE WAY MALKINSON WAS TREATED......AND THIS FROM THE VERY MAN WHO STOOD IN MY WAY RECENTLY, WHILE HE WAS STILL JUSTICE MINISTER AND HE RUBBISHED THE IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE I PUT TO HIM ABOUT HOW A HIGH UP QC HAD PERVERTED THE COURSE OF JUSTICE AGAINST ME. IT MAKES YOU WANT TO PUKE AT IT ALL.
THE END - AS:-
THIS IS THE LAST POST I WILL PUT ON THIS BLOG WHICH I HAVE RUN SINCE 2008
AND IN ORDER TO EXPOSE THE UTTER CORRUPTNESS OF OUR ESTABLISHMENT .
It has given me something to do and got it all off my chest, but really my aim was to expose it all and hopefully someone would see it and agree something should happen to expose it and maybe help me to do that. Say a journo who could expose it with no cost to himself and the exposure of how our politicians have been all part of the corruption and the hiding of the facts. HOWEVER IT APPEARS JOURNOS TODAY ARE ALL COWARDS WHO DON'T WANT TO UPSET POLITICIANS AND THE POWERFUL ESTABLISHMENT!! But although 64K people have seen this blog-yet NOT ONE COMMENT has been forthcoming, let alone any help. BUT THAT IS THE WORLD THESE DAYS- FULL OF PEOPLE WHO ONLY LOOK OUT FOR THEMSELVES.
THE LATEST EXPOSURE OF THE POST OFFICE CRIMINALITY IS SIMILAR TO WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO ME. HOWEVER BECAUSE OF THE FACT THEY ARE SO WELL KNOWN AND THAT SO MANY PEOPLE WERE STITCHED UP-WHEREAS I AM BUT ONE UNKNOWN PERSON-THEY EVENTUALLY AFTER 20 OR SO YEARS DID GET SOMEONE ONTO THEIR CASE ......HOWEVER IN THIS-MY CASE YOU WILL SEE MANY MORE GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS AND MEMBERS OF THE JUDICIARY ARE INVOLVED AND I DO HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE TO PROVE ALL I HAVE SAID WHEREAS THEY HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING EVIDENCE TO PROVE THEY WERE BEING STITCHED UP (FOR TO GET EVIDENCE ONE HAD TO BE A COMPUTER EXPERT)... BUT THE BASTARDS IN THE P.O ARE STILL AT IT AND DON'T FORGET THE PO ARE OWNED BY THE BASTARDS IN GOVERNMENT. MAKES ME WONDER IF OUR GOVERNMEN ARE NOT MUCH BETTER THAT PUTINS MOB??
IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE NO WRITERS OUT THERE OR JOURNOS WHO HAVE MORE THAN TWO BRAIN CELLS AND ARE MISSING A GOOD STORY THAT SHOULD BE EXPOSED, AND ESPECIALLY NOW THE PUBLIC HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE P.O STORY AND THAT SHOULD HAVE OPENED THEIR BRAINS OUT A BIT. BUT I AM AFRAID I PROBABLY WONT SEE IF THERE ARE, DUE TO MY AGE AND HEALTH.
CHEERS TO YOU ALL.
