One Year Anniversary of Letter Demand to Henry Sy

In 2013, we wrote the below communication to Mr. Henry Sy:

Dear Mr. Henry Sy, 

The operation of the business conglomerate of SM Shoemart, Banco de Oro, the SM port management and ferry transport company, SM Development Corporation and real estate marketing companies, including the new Grande Belle brand in the gambling and entertainment industry are a showcase for a dynamically growing and evolving business template. 

In the whole of Southeast and other parts of Asia where the SM business brand has operated, the group of companies has met only with success. Such success has carved a niche for Mr. Henry Sy in the upper echelon of the small community of billionaires. 

In 1983, the Wei Wan Yan food packaging concept was formed and the Credence paper  and other school and office products line brand was born. In the immediate period, the marketing campaign concept for a multi-products line Bonus was accorded copyright ownership by the Philippine Government.

The owner of the brands shall now fully use the Wei wan yan, Credence and Bonus trade names as its own right. It is known  a well known fact that the SM Shoemart group of companies, particularly its merchandising arm, SM Supermart and SM Hypermarket, along with Save More and other allied marketing-retailing companies are using the Bonus trademark.

What propelled the company of Mr. Henry Sy to use the name Bonus that is rightfully owned by others is not known. However, there is a limit to the use of proprietary items like brand names as defined in both the laws of countries and in the Geneva Convention for the protection of intellectual property. In this, it is fitting that the company of Mr. Henry Sy should therefore stop  using the brand Bonus or make amends in the unlawful use of the brand whose copyright belongs to some other party. 

The owners of the Bonus brand are prepared to accept a decent and reasonable offer of peaceful and amicable amends from the side of the illegal, unlawful infringers of its intellectual property.

By the 13 of this month, our letter to Henry Sy is already one year old. Despite the time lapsed, Henry Sy nor his subordinates, neither any of the higher or lower members of the board or management or communication section ever gave any response or even an indication of responding.

We are now providing him with another email address: syneticindustries@hotmail.com.  Whether Henry Sy and company does or does not still reply, we seek the support of people who sympathize with our cause to help us to pressure the Sy group to be fair to small people and stop stealing their intellectual property.

In the meanwhile, we are constrained to take legal action or other kind of action in whatever form to obtain redress for Henry Sy and company's obnoxious behavior.
