LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/12/05 -- Today, Michael Casey Enterprises, Inc.,
filed Counterclaims seeking $10,000,000 in damages against
Counter-Defendant Cirtran-Asia, Inc., and Third Party Defendant Cirtran,
Inc. (collectively "Cirtran"), and
Counter-Defendant Charles Ho in the United States District Court for the
District of Utah. The Counterclaims against Cirtran allege that Cirtran
engaged in fraud and trade libel and further breached an exclusive
manufacturing contract to produce Casey Enterprises' unique AB-KING PRO(TM)
exercise product as well as other products. The Counterclaims against Ho
allege that Ho filed patent applications wherein Ho falsely purported to be
the sole inventor and owner of all rights to the AB-KING PRO(TM) and other
products and interfered with Michael Casey Enterprises' business. The
Counterclaims seek $10,000,000 in damages against both Cirtran and Ho.
MICHAEL CASEY, the president of Michael Casey Enterprises, Inc., has
reported that his company has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars
developing and marketing its unique AB-KING PRO(TM) exercise product and
that his company will vigorously pursue Cirtran and Ho for damages incurred
as a result of Cirtran and Ho's fraudulent business practices. Michael
Casey Enterprises or its licensees own all patent rights to the AB-KING
PRO(TM) and AB-AWAY PRO(TM) products, as well as a new Abdominal Wheel
product. Casey says, "Ho has a history of filing patents which are not his
own," and that his latest conduct shows desperation regarding his current
financial problems in Taiwan where court records indicate that Ho owes
approximately $35,000,000 New Taiwanese dollars to creditors.
Speaking on behalf of Michael Casey Enterprises, Inc., Attorney Dan Cislo
of Cislo & Thomas, LLP, stated: "Michael Casey Enterprises will
aggressively pursue monetary damages and an injunction against Cirtran and
Ho to stop them from hurting others in the future."
