TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
GEET International, Inc. has the exclusive rights to market, manufacture, and teach the technology embodied in U.S. Patent Number 5794601. GEET International, Inc. had entered into a contract with Dennis Lee’s organization to distribute GEET technology made available by GEET International, Inc., but the contract required his organization to feature the GEET logo as prominently as his own, which was not done. The contract did not confer the right to manufacture or teach the technology. Discussions were held which might have eventually led to the right to do some teaching or manufacture if GEET approved it on a case by case basis, but those discussions did not lead to any license being issued. Dennis Lee’s organization did not comply with the requirements for pre-approval of ads by GEET.
Recently, a large number of credible witnesses have
contacted GEET to advise Paul Pantone that Dennis Lee is now claiming the GEET
technology as his own, is defaming GEET, and is making claims for the
technology which are not warranted at the present time. These same witnesses have advised Paul that,
in spite of specific warning to Dennis Lee, he continues to encourage the
illegal application of furnace technology.
Because of the repeated violations of both the contract and GEET’s
intellectual property rights, including the claim that Dennis Lee will soon be
manufacturing the technology and offering courses in the same in New Jersey,
GEET takes the position that Dennis Lee has breached the contract, and no
longer has any rights to distribute or perform any other act regarding the GEET
technology, or sell the plans to which Paul Pantone has all rights. DENNIS LEE AND HIS
ORGANIZATION HAVE NO LICENSE to do either of these, and his proposed course of
action appears to be an illegal infringement on GEET’s rights, which GEET
intends to pursue in the courts. Anyone
doing business with Dennis Lee regarding the GEET technology risks being named
as a party in the suit which GEET intends to file.
UPDATE AS OF
10/15/01
ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN PROMISED TRAINING OR LICENSES TO GEET TECHNOLOGY BY DENNIS LEE.
Anyone considering going to Dennis Lee’s "school" in New Jersey to be trained to use MY GEET Technology should first be aware that Dennis Lee has not only NEVER been given a License to open a school competing with mine, he was specifically prohibited from opening a school in competition with the GEET International Institute. Second, if you use my technology without a license from me, the patent holder, you can be sued under FEDERAL LAW for infringing my patent. This includes the sale of my plans or products. Third, DENNIS LEE currently has no right to manufacture any product based on GEET Technology. If you bought plans through Dennis Lee they are not authorized by GEET, and do not give you any rights to install unless you are on the miniscule list of those for which we were paid royalties. you will have to check with GEET to see if you are on that list. if you are not, Dennis Lee has taken your money without giving you a valid license. If you have purchased an “automotive kit” ask for a refund, since GEET has refused to market those until they are fully ready. If you paid Dennis for such a kit, and received it, you paid you received an infringing, unlicensed product.
You should also be aware that, although Dennis Lee has said in then past he would only create 2,000 dealerships, many Dennis Lee dealers have said THEY FEEL THAT HE DOES IN FACT HAVE MORE THAN 2,000 DEALERS AND IS STILL SELLING DEALERSHIPS. On September 27th a man came to the Institute and was checking out what was going on. He said Dennis offered him a dealership while in Salt Lake at $30,000, but that Dennis then called him from New Jersey telling him the price today was $200,000.00, and is expected to be as much as a MILLION by the end of the year, providing Dennis Lee can market the GEET technology and training. (Unfortunately for the dealers, Dennis Lee has no legal rights to my technology, nor, according to many conversations with other inventors, most of the other products he demonstrates.) Right now, though, Dealers from all over are complaining they can’t sell their dealerships for as little as $10,000.
At this time it is my opinion that there are many more distributorships than he is willing to talk about. Why would Dennis Lee tell us at GEET that he does not want our Graduates, who just spent $1,500 to become trained, to not be posted on any website? Why have Dealers from all over told us they aren’t getting any leads from Dennis?
1. I personally would like to know how many dealers there really are. Many of you are sending me lists of the Dealers you know and have met at different events. Thank you very much for this information. I will post the numbers as they come in.
2. The Attorney Generals’ Offices from several states have asked if we had names of any DL Dealers in their states. If you are a Dealer in; KY, TN, NM, LA, IL, WA, AK, NC, SC, CT, ME, GA, DE, VA, NY, TX, NJ or OR, please let them know who you are or send the info to me and I will forward it to the appropriate party.
WHAT WENT WRONG???
Molley and I went back to New Jersey to see if Dennis was real or a fraud. We spent 3 days with Dennis, Allison and Dennis' Daughter. He demonstrated a few things including the browns gas unit. He seemed to be real on the surface. We entered an agreement that all GEET Distributors would be granted a Dealership under UCSofA within 14 days, and Dennis gave Paul and Molley a copy of the Dealer agreement. We agreed that I would open the GEET International Institute of Technology in UTAH. We agreed that his dealers would be able to advertise any products that were being marketed to the General Public with specific limited rights; ALL advertisements MUST include the GEET Logo; ALL information on ANY website, including UCSofA, was to approved by PAUL AND MOLLEY PANTONE, PRIOR to posting; ALL funds collected, by Wednesday of each week according to our agreement, were to be deposited in our account by Friday of that week. Dennis was not to sell any plans until he had arranged for someone at his location to be available to answer ALL questions and give out FREE details to those who bought plans. We have been told by many callers that Dennis is sending out plans which are NOT complete, and that he won’t give them the time of day without them paying more money.
For the first few weeks Dennis Lee sent students into the school. Then he sent his own men in for training. His men signed an agreement to not compete or infringe on my Patent. This was supposedly so that THEY could answer the questions of people calling in for the details not included in the plans. Until this training was done, ALL PLANS were to be sold through Paul Pantone.
Now, 4 months later, no GEET Distributor has been granted a Dennis Lee dealership. People who bought plans tell us they are upset that Dennis won’t give them the specifications for the plans which are PART of buying the plans.
The next week of school we went from 25 students to 1 or 2 a week. Not enough to cover the expenses of keeping the doors open. Many people were calling wanting to come to school but were then being told by Dennis that the NEW School will be opening in New Jersey, sometime in about November.
As Dennis began his tour, complaints came in from each City about him mis-representing the GEET Technology. After seeing a video of this I notified Dennis that he had breached his contract with GEET, and directed him to stop marketing our plans, schooling, and products. The final straw that ended any further dealings with Dennis was over my Plans. He sat in my office and said, “in GOD’S name" he did not sell any of my plans. He went on to say that IF any were sold it may have been, Walter, Allison, Sari, Elisabeth, (all denied selling any plans), or someone else at his office. Several times he swore this was true. Then I handed him copies of just a few of the receipts which I had, that proved he had sold over $25,000 in plans and failed to send my portion. Dennis Lee further said he wanted me to not produce any product that worked in the field of power generation as that would hurt his goal of becoming the world's biggest and “RICHEST” Utility Company in history.
When this was posted on my site many Dennis Lee dealers called, faxed and e-mailed Molley and I support. Complaints? YES!!! They are pouring in.
1. People tell us Dennis Lee is knowingly selling Plans, which are not complete, and is not offering the necessary details to enable one to build any unit. In our opinion this is fraudulent.
2. Dennis Lee represents on stage that one can purchase plans to retrofit the furnaces in their own homes for only $300.00. I have personally told Dennis Lee that to modify a furnace to put into a home MUST BY LAW be approved by certified laboratories, in the Country of usage. In my opinion this is not only fraud but dangerous and could cause death of innocent people if an unqualified person attempted such action without any form of training, not to mention it is ILLEGAL. I believe these claims are being made willfully and intentionally in an effort to con people into investing in his company, for a product which has never been offered to Dennis LEE.
3. We have been told by a few students that they were sent by investors who sent them to Salt Lake City, prior to investing in a dealership. The students said that once they confirmed to the investors that GEET Technology worked, the investors gave Dennis their $100,000.00 fee, with the understanding from Dennis that they were Guaranteed ALL GEET Technology. This is certainly not part of our former agreement with Dennis Lee, and appears to be a blatant act of FRAUD and deception.
4. We have been told from the first day of school that Dennis put in writing that the students could bring in their own cars and equipment to be retrofitted with GEET. I told Dennis before we opened that we did not have facilities to accommodate such a feat. The students said they were told NOT to call Paul or Molley for any reason and this caused even more problems. Some students say they were told they could camp out at the institute. Dennis stated that ONLY qualified Mechanics should come to the school, even though we told him they are the most difficult to train because of their preconceptions. I told Dennis we did not have automotive parts in stock yet we have been told that some of you are collecting money from customers and sending it to Dennis Lee. If He is taking money for something which is not available for delivery, then it appears he is committing fraud to con people out of their money.
5. Because we were concerned by the complaints of disgruntled DENNIS LEE Dealers we began calling several people who own the products that Dennis shows on stage or offers to dealers as EXCLUSIVE. One example is Fire-Shaker. Found at www.fireshaker.com. They do NOT sell any products to Dennis Lee and have served him papers to get him to stop pretending they have ANY relationship.
6. Laundry Balls. I have found several sites while searching for them only to find, while sitting with a Dennis Lee Dealer, a site with pictures of the Dennis Lee Laundry Balls. And the manufacturer says they should last about 1,500 washes. But why does Dennis Lee Guarantee them for life? And why did the manufacturer get upset when they heard Dennis Lee's name? And if these are part of your EXCLUSIVE Dealership why did the manufacturer tell us he won't sell them to Dennis? Or is this just another small Fraud and Deception in gathering money for the Dennis Lee causes. http://www.syntac.net/hoax/scams.php
7. Mosquito Magnet. http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/ GEE!!! Another product that the manufacturer tells us Dennis Lee doesn’t legally represent as an exclusive agent. But how many of you gave him money to represent all of his exclusive products??? Just how many of these products is he falsely representing?
8. On stage in Boise, Dennis told the audience that it only takes about an hour to install the GEET on ANY car. We have shown it can be done in a day, but only by a GEET Qualified person. He said he could do it himself if he wanted. BULL. Just by his presentation, he proved he doesn’t have a clue as to how it works, and he doesn’t seem to care.
9. The Furnace. The furnace displayed by Dennis Lee could not possibly work as described. It appears that most of the information he gave on stage was simply made up as he opened his mouth. He went so far as to tell his audience completely wrong directions of molecular movement in and around the furnace as well as incorrect temperatures of operations. If you hooked the furnace to your septic tank as he describes, it would most likely blow the lid off the tank.
10. Many dealers told us of having purchased his
heat pump for thousands of dollars and that the heat pumps NEVER WORKED. He was prosecuted for this one. http://www.users.voicenet.com/~eric/skeptic/
11. Dennis Lee claims that no one knows how GEET works? Well I have successfully taught over 25 Physicists the 48 phenomenons, and they said they were satisfied they did take place. As well as hundreds who have gone through my training who have successfully built their own GEET running equipment. Why does it seem he is lying? I believe it is to keep people from making contact with Me and GEET. We DO teach the GEET Technology, licensed and recognized by the State of Utah, Board of Regents as a school of Higher Education.
12. When Dennis Lee puts his nose at the exhaust and claims there is no Carbon Monoxide, that claim is not true. He tells the audience they can run the generators inside closed building for prolonged periods of time. CAUTION::: The generators he is claiming to be pollution-free, are not!!! If only one person on his tour believes what he said they could be dead by trying to prove that claim. Not even Dennis Lee should be above the law on endangering the lives of others by making false claims to raise money for his cause.
13. One Dennis Lee dealer phoned and told me that Dennis sells a Freon replacement, Propane. This is illegal and banned in most states. If your system leaks it could result in an explosion. Check with ATF or your local authorities.
14. In Casper, Wy, Dennis says the Van he was touring with wouldn’t start. Did it ever run? I inspected it in Salt Lake City as he toured through. The way it was modified, it would NOT run on water, in any amount. I should know, being the inventor. So it appeared he was determined to continue to make excuses and try to con people out of their money. Some dealers are claiming 10 times mileage.
15. Dennis said the “engine” must be pointed North to start, and this is grossly mis-leading. I teach all students the proper relationship of the system and am appalled by the false claims and directions that Dennis gives out in an effort to sell plans. He further stated as fact that all engines will get 3 to 5 times their mileage, while he has a generator that only produces double? I have come to believe this man can't tell any truth. The fact that you can get double is good enough, why claim what it can't do?
16. On stage, Dennis was video taped saying that one of HIS Dealers is getting ZERO emissions. I’d like to meet that Dealer, because I don't believe Dennis can produce him. Zero pollution can be achieved, but not with what I have taught to His Dealers. This is beyond the training to achieve 95 to 99% range we teach.
17. Dennis said that the EPA has said “without pollution, you can’t run your car”. I would like to know who he spoke with at the EPA, because I believe Dennis made that up as he was rambling on. We have made several contacts with the EPA and they never said anything even close to that. If Dennis would have read the literature I supplied him he could have made many legitimate comments about the EPA. ( EPA information about GEET is in our Letters section at www.geet.com.
18. Dennis fails to tell the audience that when running the closed-loop lawnmower there is a 10 to 20% decrease in engine performance. In my opinion the reason he shuts the demo and lawnmower off so quickly is that he and his staff have not figured out how to keep them running for any periods of time.
19. Browns Gas; Dennis claims many things I believe to be false with the browns gas units. His dealers who have come to the school ( all but one) said the units they bought do not work. I have one and it doesn’t work. One Dennis Lee, Browns gas unit in Florida blew up during a demonstration and I don’t see him making any attempt to repair it or make good on any sale. If I were going to buy a Browns Gas unit I would get it from some who stands behind their unit, like George Wiseman, at http://www.eagle-research.com.
20. Dennis claims that dirty water will not gum up his Browns Gas unit. I say Bull!!!
21. If you have any information on Mr. Lee or his activities that may help us in federal court please contact Paul or Molley at 801-558-2425.
Your input is welcome.

GENERAL ALLEGATIONS
10. Between 1979 and 1997, Paul Pantone
developed a novel fuel and method for pre-treating alternative fuels to render
them usable as fuel sources for fuel burning equipment such as internal
combustion engines, furnaces, boilers and turbines. The technology is commonly
referred to as Global Environmental Energy Technology, or "GEET." His
invention can be summarized as follows:
a. Any substance that can be vaporized
and then burned in the fuel burning equipment is considered an alternative
fuel.
b. The alternative fuel may be
introduced, as a liquid into a volatilization chamber, which may be heated to
aid in the volatilization process and in most cases, will be heated by the
thermal energy from the exhaust and the exhaust conduit of the fuel burning
equipment.
GEET v. UCSA, et al Case No. Page
3
Complaint
c. A portion of the exhaust may be
bubbled through the alternative fuel to assist in the volatilization of the
alternative fuel.
d. The fuel vapor
produced in the volatilization chamber is drawn through a heated thermal
pre-treater.
e. The thermal
pre-treater may be mounted inside the exhaust conduit to be heated by the
exhaust gases.
f. The thermal
pre-treater serves as a reactor, and is configured as a reactor to having a
reactor rod mounted therein with reduced annular space surrounding the rod.
g. The volatilized
alternative fuel passes through the annular space where it is subjected to the
thermal pre-treatment prior to being introduced into the intake system of the
fuel burning equipment.
II. On May 16.
1997. Paul Pantone applied for a patent for his fuel pre-treater apparatus and
method with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
12. On or about
August 18, 1998, Paul Pantone obtained Patent Number 5, 794,601 for his fuel
pre-treater apparatus and method. Exhibit " A ".
13. In June 2000,
Paul Pantone moved his operations to Utah. He has been manufacturing parts for
GEET conversions~ converting generators to the GEET system, and teaching the
GEET system in Utah since that time.
14. In an attempt
to increase the number of students in his classes, and as a method of marketing
the GEET system, Paul Pantone, as CEO of the GEET International Corporation,
entered into a contract with Dennis M. Lee, who signed as President of Better
World Technologies on paper with the, letterhead of World Technologies, Inc.,
on April 23, 2001.
GEET v. UCSA, et al Case No. Page 4
Complaint
15. This contract (Exhibit
"B". ) provided that: "Better World Technologies has the rights
to modify small engines to the Geet system and will pay GEET Corp. a 2% of the
price that BWT sells it for, per engine royalty when that modified engine is
shipped. Larger engines may in the future be modified with a first right of
refusal going to B. W .T .for offers to all outside parties) if offered to
general public (This agreement excludes Wankel type rotary engines)." No
royalties were ever paid.
16. Paragraph 3 of the contract
provides that " Any United Community Services of America dealer who
desires to modify engines must have an individual in their shop trained and
certified by GEET Corp. They will buy their parts from GEET Carp. The
individual is certified, not the shop and if that individual leaves the
employment of the UCSA dealer then another individual needs to be certified by
GEET Corp. in order to continue modifying engines at that shop. BWT will pay
GEET their reasonable fees for training.)
17. In a
newsletter sent to UCSA dealers on or about, 2001, Alison David, over her
signature, stated that "…we have taken over training dealers; and we are
modifying generators…"Exhibit "C".
17. Paragraph 5.
Of the contract provided that " Any Ads or publications referring to the
GEET technology need to be approved by GEET Corp before publication. BWT will
correct any infractions brought to their attention within one week or
less."
18. Dennis Lee
told students that they could modify their cars and motorhomes, as well as
campers and trailers, which was far not true, and was never approved by GEET.
19. During the
summer of2001 we went from 8 students and income of about $15,000 per week to
27 students and income of about $30,000 per week. Once Dennis Lee started
advertising that he was opening his own school and began publishing defamatory
comments and GEET and Paul and Molley Pantone the level dropped to l or 2
students per week, and negative net income after paying costs.
GEET v. UCSA. et al Case No. Page

Complaint
20. BWT, UCSA, and Dennis Lee's actions
have cost GEET well over $200,000.00 to date.
21. On infoffi1ation and belief, Chis
Robinson, David Tolen, William Henry, and Eric Blanchard have all violated
their non-compete agreements with GEET while working for BWT , UCSA, or Dennis
Lee.
23. During two
weeks while Paul and Money Pantone were attending the Exotic Research
Conference in the summer of 2001, some $12,500 in generators and other products
disappeared, as well as all receipts for cash purchases. Dennis Lee later told
dealers that he had receipts for the equipment at the GEET Institute. Chris
Robinson, who now works for Dennis Lee, and, on information and belief, was
surreptitiously working for Dennis Lee while working for and being paid by the
GEET Institute, immediately left the State of Utah when he was told that the
theft had been reported to the police, who would be investigating.
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
(Fraud}
24. Plaintiffs incorporate by this
reference paragraphs 1 through 23 of this Complaint as if set forth in full
herein.
