Order of Final Judgment; Judge [ ] ’s order spells out a series of steps Davison and the others must take to avoid misrepresenting their services. Specifically, they can’t convey that invention promotion services are selectively offered to clients, or that they have a stake in the inventor’s idea because they “work for free” and collect significant income from royalties, for instance they also can’t tout having a network of corporations with whom they have relationships and regularly reach successful licensing agreements. Each prospective client will get a current disclosure statement within three days, with details about past clients.
