Our subsidiary, Kyowa Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (KCI), recently received some inquiries from customers regarding products that are not part of KCI’s product lineup. Our investigation revealed that a US website located at knowde.com had incorrectly identified third-party products as being part of KCI’s product lineup. Furthermore, Knowde’s false information had prominently displayed KCI’s name and our trademarks in connection with such unrelated third-party products.
We made Knowde aware of such incorrect statements and asked Knowde to delete all posts regarding KCI from Knowde’s website, and to cease and refrain from any further use of KCI’s name and our trademarks. Knowde promptly complied with our requests.
Please be wary of websites that may contain similarly inaccurate information. KCI only distributes its products through authorized resellers.
We attach great importance to the proper protection of intellectual property rights, and we will continue to promote the proper use of our trademarks from the standpoint of respect for intellectual property.
