Summary: Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller redesigns packaging to further protect Pooki’s Mahi®, Matcha Matcha Man®, and registered UPCs the Silicon Valley company owns while US headquartered marketplace removes unauthorized resellers selling Matcha Matcha Man® 812283020763; Matcha Matcha Man® is a registered trademark, and Pooki’s Mahi® owns UPC 812283020763.

San Francisco, CA March 2nd, 2019 

Silicon Valley luxury beverage company announced Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller redesigns packaging to further protect Pooki’s Mahi®, Matcha Matcha Man® and registered UPCs the Silicon Valley company owns while US headquartered marketplace removes unauthorized resellers selling Matcha Matcha Man® 812283020763; Pooki’s Mahi® owns matcha Matcha Man® and UPC 812283020763.

Pooki’s Mahi Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller explains, “I filed over 20,000 brand infringement tickets since 2012 through the USA headquartered marketplace to protect Pooki’s Mahi®, Matcha Matcha Man®, and Matcha Matcha Man® 812283020763. US marketplace refused to take down many listing because the company was making a massive profit on unauthorized resellers selling Pooki’s Mahi® Matcha Matcha Man® 812283020763 since 2012. US Marketplace offered special transparency labeling programs and brand registration. Transparency labels are not a replacement for UPC. UPCs are registered to the brand owner/manufacturer. 1000+ UPCs are assigned to products for several brands registered to Pooki’s Mahi. Pooki’s Mahi owns several product line brands including but not limited Pooki’s Mahi, Matcha Matcha Man, Kafpresso™, and Komo Kitty℠. Pooki’s Mahi is the registered brand owner/manufacturer of over 1000+ UPCs.”

“USA based marketplace did nothing to protect Pooki’s Mahi, Matcha Matcha Man® and Matcha Matcha Man® 812283020763 from egregious behavior from unauthorized resellers providing inaccurate content, shipping counterfeit products or expired Pooki’s Mahi products. The atrocious behaviors and repeated cyberbullying resulted in irreparable harm to Pooki’s Mahi business. The only option to protect Pooki’s Mahi, Matcha Matcha Man, and Matcha Matcha Man 812283020763 from cyber-criminals is to own the supply chain. Pooki’s Mahi is relentless in documenting and reporting atrocious behavior exhibited by IP squatters or unauthorized resellers resulting in irreparable harm,” continues Pooki’s Mahi® Komo Kitty℠ Creative Director.

The Silicon Valley executive passionately explains, “I’m redesigning packaging for Pooki’s Mahi® Matcha Matcha Man® tea product line as part of MeowHattan Project’s larger traceability and assurance program. Brand owners shouldn’t have to pay extra for a 2D barcode unique to one marketplace. 2D barcodes specific to one retailer does not replace UPCs assigned by a global standard organization to the registered brand owner.”

Pooki’s Mahi requires a Certificate of Insurance (COI) and a California Reseller Permit. Pooki’s Mahi will check out of state resellers remit taxes to California. Pooki’s Mahi calls policy underwriter(s) to verify resellers.

Packaging for Matcha Matcha Man® 812283020763 will be similar to Pooki’s Mahi Kafpresso™ Kona coffee Nespresso capsules. Packaging for Kafpresso™ capsules has CA Prop 65 product label requirements for coffee products, ingredients, source of components, nutrition information, best used by date, lot date code, UPC and RFID designator.
