When the Final Full Stop Lands in the SCIO–EDUCTOR Case

Sometimes it’s not the outcome people worry about, but how much longer a long-standing case will drag on. That was exactly how we felt. Although we were always confident in the legal truth, the duration of the process tested even the most patient among us. But after seven years of twists and turns, lawsuits, and legal back-and-forth, in June 2025, the European Union finally put an end to the dispute.

The SCIO and EDUCTOR trademarks and the certification of the SCIO medical device are exclusively registered under the name of Mandelay Ltd. – and have always been. This decision is as clear as freshly cleaned glass: No more murky legal situations. No more pseudo-rights holders. No more uncertainty. Who owns the name? No longer a question. If you follow the world of biofeedback, you may have heard about someone who, under the name William C. Nelson (also known as Desirée Dubounet), tried to claim earlier rights to the SCIO and EDUCTOR brand names. They didn’t hold back – even filing trademark invalidity proceedings at the EUIPO. But now it has been officially confirmed what we’ve always known:
  • The trademarks were registered lawfully.
  • Neither Nelson nor the associated QX World Ltd. could prove any valid, legitimate rights.
  • And all such attempts bounced off the courts like a ball off concrete.
The EU General Court has now upheld the earlier decisions of the EUIPO, officially closing a long chapter. The law now formally stands with Mandelay Ltd.

What does this mean for you, for us, for everyone?
In one word: security.

No more doubts about who stands behind the technology, where the device comes from, or whether a distributor is operating legally.

Now it’s set in stone that:

  • The use of the SCIO and EDUCTOR names is only permitted within the EU with written authorization from Mandelay Ltd.
  • The SCIO system’s medical certification is our exclusive right.
  • Unauthorized name usage and distribution will have serious consequences — and not just on paper.

Thinking of breaking the rules? You’d better be ready.

Mandelay Ltd. protects more than just its rights — we safeguard the trust of the entire community.
That’s why we will now actively take action against anyone who:

  • Uses the SCIO or EDUCTOR name without authorization;
  • Misleads customers into thinking they are the “real manufacturer”;
  • Sells devices that lack proper official certification.

This is a clear message to every market participant:
The time for clean operations has arrived.
If you’ve been sourcing devices from questionable suppliers, now is the time to come clean — and we’re here to help.
