Dear friends of Audio Note
Many of you will know that my former distributor, Audio Note UK, a company controlled by Peter Qvortrup and I have ceased to have a business relationship. I have recently read on the Audio Note UK web site Peter Qvortrup's explanation for this separation. The distortion of the truth is so great that Peter Qvortrup has forced me to go public and explain to you what happen.

As many of you will know I resigned from CBS Sony where I was an audio designer in mid-1970. At this time, I began using the name Audio Note, and my products were branded with that name. I actually incorporated Audio Note in Japan on October 1, 1979. I was manufacturing high end audio products a long time before I even met Peter Qvortrup. In fact, I had a number of agents prior to Peter Qvortrup being appointed my distributor. He proved himself to be a good salesman of my product and eventually I gave him the right to distribute Audio Note products everywhere except Japan. At no time has he ever been involved in the design, or manufacture, of my products. He is not an amplifier designer.

Everything went well for a period of time and he purchased goods through my Japanese business agent, Shibazaki san of Sibatech. Peter Qvortrup asked me if he might have permission to manufacturer a lower end audio product bearing the Audio Note name, I gave him a revocable license to do so.

In 1996 and 1997 problems started to develop, leading me in late 1997 to revoke the license to manufacture products bearing the Audio Note name, and to dismiss him as my distributor.

Peter Qvortrup has claimed on his web site that we parted company because of some ""severe philosophical divergence on amplifier design", this is not the truth.

I terminated my business agreement with Peter Qvortrup and Audio Note UK for three main reasons:

1. Towards the end of our business relationship he had ordered a large quantity of high end Audio Note products manufactured by Audio Note Japan through Sibatec but failed to pay for them.

2. In August 1997 Messrs Pannel Kerr and Forster accountants, were appointed join administrative receivers in the United Kingdom because Audio Note UK were put into the hands of the Official Receivers and into liquidation. The liquidation of Audio Note UK had a bad effect both financially and in terms of the reputation of the name Audio Note and I found it unacceptable.

3. Peter Qvortrup has always used the reputation for reliability and excellence to enhance the sale of the Audio Note products made in England under a license granted by me. However, I started to become concerned when I repeatedly heard complaints from people who had bought the English manufactured products telling me that it was badly finished and unreliable. I recognize that while our reputation could help sell the English products, equally their bad reputation could damage the reputation of the products I was building in Japan.

After I had terminated the agreement with him, I appointed P M Components, in England, as my distributor for Europe. I also granted them a revocable license to manufacture products bearing my name.

Peter Qvortrup's reaction was firstly to try and threaten people who wish to sell my products with legal action, claiming that the name Audio Note was his. Accordingly, I am a little surprise to see that he now claims on his web site to welcome healthy competition.

Moreover, he took legal proceedings in England claiming that the name Audio Note was his. I did not contest the proceedings because I did not believe that it was necessary to do so. It is so well known that I created the name Audio Note along with the names of individual products which bear Japanese names, such as ONGAKU, KEGON, KAGEKI. These products were designed by me, manufactured by me and the only role that Peter Qvortrup had was in for a time promoting and selling them. I could not believe that he would after I had ended our business relationship try and claim that he had a right to make products bearing my names.


Given the confusion that Peter Qvortrup has introduced into the market, I started to put the word "Kondo" on the front of products I now currently design and manufacture.

This does not mean that I cannot use the name Audio Note, why shouldn't I use the name Audio Note as I am the creator of it. Lately, I have been told that there have been malicious rumors spread about my health, I am very pleased to say that I am fit and well and working hard in Tokyo pursuing my life long quest for audio excellence and with no time, or desire or need to copy anyone else's design.

Thank you so much for your interest in Audio Note and for your faithful support over the years.

Please keep an eye out for my new web pages, it will detail all facts.

睇下二手市場,可以話audio note係一間經營得好成功的高級音響廠家。另一家A字頭的日本廠家都不遑多讓,但設計理念及產品風格就大相逕庭,其實研究下hiend市場係幾有趣。

呢D哪喳野唔只係蝗虫獨有

【本報訊】受不少內地人追捧、香港全球藥業代理的老牌「雙飛人」藥水,在江西鬧出「雙胞胎」,官方產品被侵權之餘,更被侵權者告上法庭。全球藥業董事總經理洪楷在北京表示,雙飛人藥水商標在內地被「強行註冊」,被迫將產品改名。
據全球藥業透露,目前「雙飛人」藥水每年在港銷量超過1,000萬支,消費者多數為內地客。以每支零售價約35元計,銷售額達到3.5億元。

江西雙飛人搶註商標

《21世紀經濟報道》指,去年10月,江西雙飛人醫藥科技有限公司(下稱江西雙飛人)向江西省宜春市中級人民法院提訴,指廣州醫藥有限公司在內等19間企業,宣傳時引用「雙飛人」商標,構成不正當競爭。
早於1999年,江西雙飛人把「雙飛人」商標在內地註冊,本港「雙飛人」被迫改名,才可在中國市場銷售。而全球藥業在去年5月,透過廣州醫藥把產品「利佳薄荷水」引入內地,「利佳薄荷水」即「雙飛人」改名後的中國版本。
全球藥業董事總經理洪楷昨在北京舉行記者會,抨擊原告、即江西雙飛人「這種有違商業秩序的行為(涉嫌搶註商標、惡意訴訟),公司方面堅決說不」,又指「之前橫生波折的商標紛擾,已經直接延誤了『利佳薄荷水』進軍中國內地的時間」,公司將聯同廣州醫藥等被告,捍衞合法權益。
江西雙飛人強調自己的「正版地位」,指獲得法國雙飛人製藥集團授權,所有銷售合法合規;把全球藥業告上法庭的主要目的,是希望後者在內地的銷售全面被叫停。不過,去年5月全球藥業「利佳薄荷水」進軍中國時,法國雙飛人特意發出聲明,指公司未有與全球藥業以外的企業,有任何形式的合作及授權。
在國家工商總局旗下《中國商標網》上,江西雙飛人註冊的商標逾30多個,除雙飛人外,還包括黃道益、軒尼詩,甚至日產等「原創品牌」。
