Sept 10th, Friday 2009. Piaget's Blanket President and Inventor 2day'd samples to Organic Apparel USA as confirmed over emails before a business trip to meet Akin Inci & Ms. Gaye of Organic Apparel USA. These 2nd sample sets were going to be made into organic cottons and made store ready by this manufacturer if approved by Piaget's Blanket once seeing the outcome of the samples due Dec. 29th. 2009. A couple weeks later, I the president flew to meet these characters to approve the status of this manufacturer and the people to get a feel for the company. I saw or heard nothing wrong. Boy, was I wrong! The holidays passed, I get very little feedback in between Sept-Dec 29th, only if I asked. In Jan. Akin I heared is travelling in Turkey and wont be back till the 18th. So I guess I have to wait? My samples have testing issues he says, then Akin doesn't like the embroidery...1 more week delay. No photos to let me see progress mind you. Then Akin in February has a car accident on his way home from Turkey. But, Gaye and Akin say samples are done! He has to be there 2 more weeks. I ask him to send samples via customs. I have had enough waiting! Gaye calls back (his asst). and says they will be "stuck" there. Akin will fly to California straight from Miami and out of his hospital bed. (right!) I say fine, I waited this long. Low and behold...Akin lost his luggage in Spain or somewhere he says, it didn't make it to Miami basically. And the samples were in there. So now he has to make more. That will be....you guessed it...1 more week! My patent attorney has been involved with him via email/phone and he sticks to the story his one luggage is missing with my intellectual property. Thank goodness, I have the prototypes!
You can't trust thieves, it's not the 1st time, it won't be the last when you are a woman in the toy industry dealing with unprofessionals that are desparate. Akin Inci does not deliver services or refund your money. Beware of sending intellectual property his way. He is bold enough to ask your patent lawyer " How do I know this product is even patent pending". "Any experienced manufacturer can copy this you have a youtube on it." Sweetheart, that's why it is public, it's protected...learn the law if you want to do business. And calling someone partner doesn't mean they will be your partner...you wish!
