Orders and payment will be taken by filling in on the internet, proceeded to the manufacturing centre and delivered to the customer through independent delivery service.

  9. What our competitors will do? • They can interfere their own marketing campaings • They can come up with something similar or broaden their portfolio • They can reduce the costs for the certain amount of time in order to get back control of the market • They will ask for cooperation (Dansk Droge maybe) • They will try to buy us (Finvita maybe) They will act upon our success during our marketing campaigne!

  10. patents • Thesemedicinesare not "patented" in the traditionalsense of the word. Noone has exclusiverights to the formula. Instead, "patent" refers to the standardization of the formula. All Chinese patent medicines of the same namewill have the same proportions of ingredients • Patents arescarce and extremelyspecific. It’sveryunlikelythattheywillinterferewithour business. • Example: Hair Tonic • U.S. Classification • 424/74; 424/195.1
