The above posted by Harry.
The marketing firm? They claim no affiliation with MNKD, so probably not. No affiliation is kind of weird, since they place their branding on MNKD videos, screen scrape whole pages, hot link to the savings card and brazenly tweet using all kinds of tags. My 3 guesses: 1. One of the MNKD superfans from Twitter 2. An enthusiastic poster from this board. 3. An attempt by MNKD to bypass FDA advertising regulations. Of course, "none of the above" is the most likely answer. A mystery!

I've heard that two other times..from RLS and Vdex. Maybe no direct affiliation.

MNKD wouldn't risk and go against rules with out black box warnings. Doesn't the site say they are not affiliated with MNKD. It's just a investor/interested party just like Afrezza just breathe website.

Are they doing any harm?

Actually, they could do great harm to the company, which is why I expect MannKind will need to request this rogue site be shut down or at least forbid the use of any Afrezza trademarked images such as the logo, OUTsulin character, etc. Failure to do so could easily result in repercussions by the FDA for complicit wink-and-a-nod approval of marketing Afrezza off-label. The FDA cannot prevent freedom of speech, but it can hold companies accountable for allowing the unauthorized use of their trademarks.
It sucks, but this is the FDA we're talking about. They take this stuff seriously.

They take this stuff seriously. I agree - the IP issue should be more concerning to MNKD than any claims or narrative abt Afrezza. Famous brands that have been lost and become part of the English language: "Electrocution" - originally a brand of electric chair from "electric execution" "Dry Ice" "Dumpster" - originally owned by Dempster Brothers "Escalator" = Otis lost this trademark when it became too widely used to described moving stairways "Linoleoum" "Filofax"
