3 MERS for the Price of One!

see deadlyclear.wordpress.com

When you research the trademark docs, and the business registration docs and then you compare the information to the Hultzman and Arnold depositions… and this is what you get:

There were three (3) Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc.(s) created = (I), (II), (III).

Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (I) originally formed in about 1995, registered a trademark in 1997 and MERS and conveyed a security interest to Nationsbank, N.A. (Bank of America) on or about June 1998; that was followed by the creation of another Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (II) which was also created on or about June 30, 1998 and per the Hultzman Declaration merged with Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (I);

Then there was a name change of name Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (II) to MERSCORP, Inc. on or about December 1998 which was to become effect as of Jan 1999. See the documents on DeadlyClear:

This means that the MERS® belongs to MERSCORP, Inc. and it became ‘the system’ that was licensed for members’ use.

Shortly after the name change MERSCORP, Inc. created yet another Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (III) (per Hultzman) which is the “Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc.” (strawman) in the mortgage contracts (not MERSCORP, Inc. and the “MERS” reference in the mortgages is just an acronym (not the registered trademark MERS®).

However, MERSCORP, Inc. is in the mortgage contracts but not disclosed to the borrower – the MIN # belongs to MERS® ‘the system’ not the strawman “Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc.” (III).

The Trademark Documents (can be found in the Post:
http://deadlyclear.wordpress.com/2011/10/28/complaint-state-of-delaware-v-merscorp-inc-go-go-beau/ it is too large to email) that were used in a lawsuit against a California company help to support the timeline… this scenario wasn’t used by the CA defendant – I think it was so convoluted nobody ever figured it out – it was likely meant to be confusing on purpose.

REGISTRATION NO: 2084831 SERIAL NO: 75/031300 MAILING DATE: 08/29/2007
REGISTRATION DATE: 07/29/1997
MARK: MERS
REGISTRATION OWNER: MERSCORP, Inc.

Bottom-line is that there were 3 Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., 2 were absorbed by MERSCORP, Inc., and the acronym MERS in the mortgages is the strawman Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (no employees or systems, shell) – not MERSCORP, Inc.’s MERS®.

There are no records of agreements, contracts, licensing, or assignments of license that have been filed in any business records in DE, NY, MI or Virginia or the patent office that I have searched or been able to find so far that link the Strawman or any other corporation to the MERS®.
