\nHASI, Inc. owned all copyrights and trademarks related to\nScientology. They had been assigned into perpetuity to the Hubbard\nCommunications Office (HCO), a division of HASI, Inc., by L. Ron\nHubbard in several policy letters, notably several issued on 15\nNovember 1958. This revocation likely put the intellectual property\ninto the posession of the Church of Scientology of California (CSC),\nwhich becomes quite important later. (See 4 May 1978, below.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DOCUMENT TITLE:<\/strong> Certificate of Revocation,\nHASI, Inc. BACKGROUND AND NOTES<\/p>\n\n\n\n HASI, Inc. owned all copyrights and trademarks\nrelated to Scientology. They had been assigned into perpetuity to the\nHubbard Communications Office (HCO), a division of HASI, Inc., by L.\nRon Hubbard in several policy letters, notably several issued on 15\nand 22 November 1958.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HCO was transferred to Church of Scientology of\nCalifornia (CSC) on or around 12 March 1966 according to a policy of\nthat date. CSC was, itself, owned at the time by HASI, Inc. To get a\nfull picture of this corporate set-up and the relationship of the\nintellectual property to it, and what became of it after this HASI\nrevocation, please see our comparative chart Figure 6: Brief history of the corporate and intellectual property structure\non page 187.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When this 10 May 1977 revocation of HASI, Inc.’s\nArticles of Incorporation was sent to the P.O. Box Address in Silver\nSpring, which had been the address for HASI, Inc. since the 1950s, it\nwas returned to the Arizona Corporation Commission as “MOVED\u2014NOT\nFORWARDABLE.”<\/strong> At the time, Sherman and Stephen Lenske, of\nthe law firm of Norton S. Karno, were handling L. Ron Hubbard’s\n“business interests.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n CSC, however, survived as a California\ncorporation, taking HCO, and the copyrights, with them. But within\ntwo months of this revocation, the Guardian Office in the United\nStates will be raided on both coasts by the FBI (see doc AC)\nrendering it in such disarray, and under such duress, that CSC, and\nthe intellectual property it owns, are left wholly unprotected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a transcript of the microfiche document:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \nCERTIFICATE\nOF REVOCATION<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \nSILVER\nSPRING MD<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n The\nArizona Corporation Commission, pursuant to ARIZONA REVISED \n FAILURE\nTO FILE AN ANNUAL REP [ILLEGIBLE: “REPORT”]<\/p>\n\n\n\n \nDATED__________________________MAY\n10__ , 19__77__<\/p>\n\n\n\n [SIGNATURES: Bud Tims(?)\u00a0\u00a0 Ernest Garfield\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jim W(Illegible)] \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0[SIGNATURE: Donald E.
