3M FORMER EMPLOYEE TESTIFIES PUBLIC STATEMENT WAS A LIE TO MISLEAD AND CONFUSE THE PUBLIC

The people at 3M now are the ones who are making this public misleading statement, hoping the public will think they invented the sticky note product before Amron. And that is a lie just to mislead and confuse the public.

Spencer invented and patented a spray sticky unique adhesive in 1970. It wasn't until 1974 Arthur Fry brought the Press n' peel bookmark idea to 3M and Spencer. Amron had already invented it in 1973, disclosed to 3M and gave samples to 3M executives at an inventors products trade show, and put it in to commerce in 1974.

3M never disclosed knowledge of Amron inventing the sticky back note, not even after being sued by Amron in 1997, 3M never told anyone about Amron being prior art. That's "inequitable conduct" at the patent office Rule 56(a). And under that rule 56(a) Amron is to get all the revenue that 3M has received on the sticky back note (Post it sticky note trademarked) entire product line for the last 40 years. Billions of dollars!

3M PUBLIC STATEMENT IS AN INTENTIONAL LIE TO MISLEAD THE PUBLIC THE COURTS AND AMRON

When you lie to the public once, you lose their trust forever.

What the carefully crafted and worded public statement from 3M is intentionally hiding.

1- A trademark that 3M filed in 1970 for a unique adhesive is not the sticky back notes invention that we are talking about here. They are successfully trying to skirt the issue.

2- The Post it notes success was not because of the "unique adhesive" 3M used on their sticky notes, no one in the world would know the difference between the 3M "unique adhesive" sticky back or any other sticky back formula used, the only thing the end user wants is a sticky back re usable re positional leaving no residue note to post. The unique use of the product was its success. Aside from the fact that Spencer Silvers patented adhesive was not used in the Post it sticky note products we know of today.

If they named it Press on memo or Post it note it wouldn't matter, it's the product that makes the trademark, not the trademark that makes the product.

3- Amron didn't have anything to do with the Post it note trademark, that part of this statement is true, however Amron had everything to do with the sticky note inventions success. By it working as invented in 1973 and disclosed to 3M in 1974.

4- Yes Arthur Fry and Spencer are in fact inducted into the inventors hall of fame, but only because they lied all these years about being the inventors of the world wide successful sticky note product 3M calls the Post it note.

Here is the full carefully crafted intentionally misleading and damaging statement from 3M:

“Post-it is a registered trademark of 3M used in association with repositionable products having roots dating back to 1970 when 3M filed a patent for the unique adhesive that has made Post-it Notes so successful, which is long before Mr. Amron claims to have invented sticky notes. 3M developed Post-it Notes without any input or inspiration from Mr. Amron and it is false and misleading for him to state or suggest that he created, invented, or had any role in the product’s development. The only inventors of Post-it Notes, Spencer Silver and Art Fry, were inducted into the National Inventors’ Hall of Fame at the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2010. One of their earlier notes is currently on display at the Smithsonian."

FALSE AND INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING CRAFTED WITH ILL INTENTIONS AND DAMAGING PUBLIC STATEMENT MADE BY 3M:

IN THE PUBLIC STATEMENT 3M SAYS:

“Post-it is a registered trademark of 3M used in association with repositionable products having roots dating back to 1970 when 3M filed a patent for the unique adhesive that has made Post-it Notes so successful, which is long before Mr. Amron claims to have invented sticky notes."

The key intentionally misleading words with ill intentions by 3M here are "the unique adhesive that has made Post it note so successful" but what they are not saying is it wasn't until four (4) years later in 1980 when 3M used it for and PUBLICLY claimed to first invent the Post it sticky note product. That was sevenfull years after Alan Amron had already invented the sticky note in 1973, put it into commerce disclosed it to 3M and gave samples of his sticky notes invention to 3M executives at an inventors new products trade show in 1974.

In the carefully crafted statement 3M claimed to have a 1970 filed patent on the adhesive, avoiding and totally misleading the public, it had nothing to do with and never actually used for the Post it note invention. It was 4 years later in 1980 that 3M publicly claimed to invent the Post it note and used Silvers adhesive for that new invention. So it was not "long before Amron claims to have invented his sticky note" it was long after Amron invented the sticky note.

AND on top of that saying "it was long before Amron claims to have invented his sticky note". Misleading the public to believe that statement is true, its not.

The sticky glue chemical mixture 3M had filed a patent on in 1970 was not for a Post it sticky note product, it was in fact for a spray can of a chemical mixture for a sticky adhesive glue. 3M used Spencer's sticky glue spray invention unsuccessfully in 1977 when clearly in 1974 Arthur Fry, a 3M employee, PUBLICLY then claimed to have invented in church the Press n' peel bookmark, not what Alan Amron had already invented in 1973 disclosed to 3m and put into commerce and gave samples of to 3M executives in 1974. Amron's was a Press on memo sticky note not a Bookmark.

No place in that 3M Spencer patent does it mention, describe or call for its sticky glue to be used in a combination note or pad.

If that were even true, and it's not, why are they claiming PUBLICLY that Arthur Fry invented the Press n' peel bookmark in 1974?

Amron in 1973 called the sticky note "Press on memo" sticky note.

3M in 1977 called Fry's invention "Press n' peel bookmark" (not the same product)

3M in 1980 introduced the "Post it sticky note" (same product Amron disclosed to 3M in 1974)

Not the same "combination sticky and note" invention as trademarked names. The product and its use is the invention. What you call it describes what it dose.

Alan Amron is in fact the inventor in 1973, and disclosed to 3M put into commerce in 1974, of the combination sticky and note, today known throughout the world as Post it notes.

Everyday 3M and Arthur Fry claim to have invented Post it sticky notes repositionable and reusable notes products defames and financially damages the real inventor Alan Amron.

One asks why the 3M company would do this?
