This is from kevinmik on StockTwits. This poster can be all over the map from supporting MannKind to bashing them. Every so often, kevinmik finds something interesting. See below: $MNKD why would Mannkind file a trademark for a health clinic ? ALTERARI HEALTH CLINIC Trademark filed 8/28/19 tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/gate... tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=doc&state=4801:am170x.4.1Why is Mannkind filing for a trademark for a health clinic? It’s a good question.

I wonder if there is a way to see if the same filing occurred in Brazil.

Maybe Mike has been listening and finally realizes the fastest way to increase afrezza sales is through health and wellness clinics who will find more diabetics walking in the door to lose some weight than his sales guys will find hanging out in some endo's office.
Properly done and partnered with a OneDrop 24/7 connected care coaching service Mike's ALTERARI HEALTH CLINICs could finally break the log jam. If partnered with a weight watcher type partner, along with the connected care, Mike will have a winner.

If it is what we think/hope it is, shouldn't it have diabetes in the name?

Some of the most famous brands in the world have nothing in the industry that relates it to what it's about: Google Apple Starbucks Amazon Geico It's all about branding and marketing. Not that Mannkind knows how to create a brand, but check out Flo (Stephanie Courtney) from Progressive and the gecko from Geico. Maybe they have a big player behind them with that sort of name recognition. We can only hope.

ALTERARI HEALTH CLINIC Sounds like it’s named after a Ferrari :-)

"International class 044", Sports, I think your guess that this may be for Brazil is a good one..
They can't advertise in Brazil but maybe they can open clinics?
Why spend the time and money in the states when we already have Vdex.. who knows maybe Vdex and Mnkd can bury the hatchet and work together..

It’s a good question. From Kevinmik $MNKD Nice to see my trademark post was posted on another message board to share information, but no need for the snide remark that accuses me of being all over the map from supporting Mannkind to bashing them. My posts are balanced that include due diligence findings and critiquing the company's performance both good and bad. I don't drink Mannkind Kool-Aid and have no problem calling out the company and management when I don't agree with them. I have a lot of money at least me for invested in Mannkind and I just want to see them maximize their assets and intellectual properties to the fullest extent possible and be successful.

I read another piece on it and it almost seems more like a emergency walk-in diabetic clinic. trademarks.justia.com/885/96/alterari-health-88596735.html

The Government Employees Insurance Company is an American auto insurance company with headquarters in Chevy Chase, Maryland. It is the second largest auto insurer in the United States, after State Farm. Wikipedia
