Bayer sued over 'Robot pen' Idea
June 1 2005
Advertising plays a crucial role in creating markets and
customer base for any product. And one huge industry that
is benefited from advertising has been the HealthCare industry.
Recently, Kadair Advertising executives claimed that Bayer
Pharmaceuticals Corp.'s state and regional managers forwarded
Kadair's idea of 'robot pen' to the drug company's corporate
headquarters.
The lawsuit says Bayer ordered 800,000 of the Levitra
pens, from one of Kadair's competitors.
Bayer has been sued for an alleged breach of contract and
unfair trade practices. Kadair is seeking damages of more
than $150,000 and the case has been transferred now to the
federal court.
The concept of 'robot pen,' that slowly unfurls when activated,
was the brainchild of Kadair. The lawsuit informs that the
Bayer took the idea to Kadair's competitor thus bypassing
the potential clients and costing Kadair money and profits.
"As a result of Bayer's conduct, Bayer has been unjustly
enriched and Kadair has been impoverished," the lawsuit
claims.
