Announcement re the Knightsbridge Dual Band chin strap

[LaurenceShaw]

Well, that is a good question.  It is a step in the process.  Now I have to submit the "Motion for Default Judgment" to the court where I support every "claim" in the Complaint with the evidence.  The claims for the US-based counterfeiting LLC are false designations of origin (they are using the name of my company), trademark infringement, copyright infringment, mail fraud, wire fraud, and sales of stolen goods.  I'm preparing that motion now.  All the evidence was filed with the original Complaint, but I now have to prepare it properly for the Motion.

[LaurenceShaw]

The entity incorporated in New Mexico under the name of my company is the entity in default.  I still have to serve the summons and Complaint on the individuals involved in Guatemala via the Inter-American Treaty on Letters Rogatory.  The Court has granted my motion to proceed with that, which requires involvement of an agency here, an agency in Guatemala, the Guatemalan Supreme Court (!), and finally local officials in Panajachel, Guatemala where the hijacked production facility was/is located.  Step by step.

So in the end, it’s the lawyers that get rich.

Maddening, as I suppose it costs more than was lost to stop the future losses.


As an aside. I understand that your degree is in physics? If so, Which branch of physics?

[LaurenceShaw]

Well, I'm a patent agent so I know how to read the laws, and I've also had to enforce my intellectual properties a number of times before in federal court regarding another invention of mine, a toy called Astrojax, so I prepared the lawsuit myself (with the oversight/help of a lawyer friend).  So no lawyer got rich, but documenting the numerous unlawful activities took a subtantial amount of time.

I got my PhD in condensed matter physics.  My thesis was on a entropic explanation of the formation of quasicrystals (crystals with, seemingly, five-fold symmetry) and the roughening point of the Ising Model.  A bit esoteric, yes.  Most of it, after the course work, was programming for what was then considered a super computer.

Hi LS

I am sorry about your misfortune with counterfeit product etc.


In my case, i mouth breathe.

But even if my jaw is held in place, my lips will part when pressure makes it to my mouth due to tongue leaving proper position etc.
( i had used a chin strap for 35 yrs and have TMJ in right jaw, possibly from teeth grinding or maybe even use of the chin strap!?)

I need more strength in my mouth area, certain muscles that supposedly can be strengthened with myofunctional therapy exercises.

I am wondering if you are aware of these issues?

The reason i ask, is i have heard people complain that the Knightsbridge did NOT work for them at all.

In light of this thread you have posted, possibly they got a counterfeit product.

However, for me, i am skeptical your product would work for me due to my explanation above.

Wondering what you think about this?

 >>> If your lips part, even when your jaw is held in place then no, the Knightsbridge will not help, at least not solo.  I suggest mouth tape as a possible solution ... and maybe a chin strap is needed to augment.  (I do feel that if you need a chin strap, you need the Knightsbridge.)  The reason very possibly you have TMJ is because traditional chin straps wrap around the tip of the chin and the top, back of the head.  The jaw joint lies pretty much directly between those two points meaning traditional chin strap push the jaw almost directly into the jaw joint.  That is the most uncomfortable and least effective direction of force possible! There are all sorts of reports on the Internet of people suffering from TMJ due to use of traditional chin straps.

With regards to myofunctional therapy, I'm absolutely no expert but I believe muscle strenghtening exercises can be of great benefit.  And I when I have issues wherever (jaw, fingers, knees), I try to figure out whether self massage, cold or hot water, etc. feels healing.

With regards to the "did NOT work for them at all" ... there are people who will benefit for having their jaw held up, and those who don't.  And yes there have been issues of counterfeit products having sizing problems.  But more fundamentally, traditional chin straps are "one size fits all" and it's a little more complicated for the Knightsbridge Dual Band where sizing and geometry is super important.  I do work with customers about fit, and we even make custom versions.  As I'm sure you appreciate because of your history, determining the best equipment is sort of an iterative process.

(We are #37 on the Suppliers List!  Beware ending up on the counterfeiting website.)

But what Edwin the rip off from Knightsbridge didn't know because he didn't process anything
is that I payed with PayPal and PayPal within seconds would of let me know about a refund.
Notice that on invoice there's no DATE .... LMFAO....
This Company is a joke
Now I'm going to PayPal followed by Credit Card Co

WATCH OUT

[LaurenceShaw]

Wow.  And yes.

There is now "entry of default" in the federal racketeering case 4:24-cv-05826-HSG which I filed against this company.  They are "allegedy" a counterfeiter of the Knightsbridge Dual Band chin strap. 

I'm so sorry you have suffered from this.  You can DM me via the website of Supplier 37 and we will figure out how to set you up properly!

[LaurenceShaw]

Just to be clear, Edwin is at Supplier #44. We are Supplier #37. I, Larry Shaw, at Supplier #37, am the inventor of the vertical lift, non-linear force chin strap described in WIPO patent publication WO 2021007181 A1, and am the holder of US Trademark No. 7513228 for KNIGHTSBRIDGE and US Trademark No. 6120858 for DUAL BAND. There is a federal racketeering lawsuit against the company using the name "Knightsbridge Sleep Solutions" at Supplier #44. Federal lawsuit 4:24-cv-05826-HSF "allegedes" that that the company recently added as a supplier at number 44 is a counterfeiter of the product I invented and sell via the link at Supplier #37. And (the federal courts move very slowly) there is finally "entry of default" in the federal case against this entity and, frankly and emphatically(!), this entity should be removed from the suppliers list.
