Are there patents, publications, or trademarks linking Paul Cox to Memory Lift?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Available public records show no clear, direct link in the provided sources tying a person named “Paul Cox” to the Memory Lift supplement brand; Memory Lift appears in commercial/marketing sites and review pages, while patent records returned many “Cox” inventors but not a Paul Cox associated with Memory Lift (p2_s8; [3]–[3]4). Paul L. Cox (researcher at Brain Chemistry Labs/Institute for Ethnomedicine) appears in scientific and popular profiles but the accessible search results do not connect him to Memory Lift patents, trademarks, or product pages in the supplied material [1] [2].
1. What the records show about “Cox” and patents
Search results from patent databases list numerous inventors with the surname Cox — Christopher Paul Cox, Paul A. Cox, Christopher E. Cox and many others — across a range of technical fields from memory-device hardware to other inventions [3] [4] [5] [6]. Those entries demonstrate that multiple distinct people named Cox are patent applicants or inventors in Justia’s indexing, but the snippets in the provided results do not show any patent application or grant that explicitly ties a Paul Cox to a supplement or to the Memory Lift brand [3] [4] [5].
2. What the records show about “Paul Cox” the researcher and author
Profiles and reporting identify a Paul Cox active in ethnomedicine and drug-discovery work — for example, a Google Scholar page and long-form journalism covering his Alzheimer’s work and Institute for Ethnomedicine activities [1] [2]. Those materials portray him as a public scientific figure working on neurodegenerative disease questions, but the sources provided do not indicate he filed patents or trademarks for a consumer supplement called Memory Lift [1] [2]. Available sources do not mention any patent filings by Paul L. Cox that reference Memory Lift.
3. What the Memory Lift sources say
Memory Lift is presented through a commercial product website and multiple review/marketing pages that describe the supplement’s benefits, ingredients and marketing claims [7] [8] [9]. Those pages position Memory Lift as a branded dietary supplement, but the provided material does not contain a trademark registration record or a corporate-assignee connection showing a “Paul Cox” as owner, inventor, or registrant [7] [8] [9]. Available sources do not mention a trademark application or registration tying Paul Cox to the Memory Lift mark.
4. What’s missing in the available reporting (important limitation)
The search results include patent listings for many people named Cox and commercial pages for Memory Lift, but they do not include USPTO trademark search results or explicit assignment records linking any Paul Cox to Memory Lift (p1_s1–[11]; [7]; [12]1). The absence of evidence in this dataset is not proof of absence — the supplied results simply do not contain a documented patent, publication, or trademark that names Paul Cox in connection with Memory Lift. If you need definitive answers about trademark ownership or patent assignments, the USPTO trademark and patent assignment databases are the authoritative sources; those specific records are not in the materials I was given [10].
5. Competing interpretations readers should consider
One reading: an entrepreneur or researcher named Paul Cox could be unrelated to the Memory Lift brand despite public profiles linking him to cognitive-research projects [2] [1]. Another plausible reading: Memory Lift is a commercial supplement brand owned or marketed by a corporate entity, with public-facing marketing that would not necessarily expose individual inventors or owners in the search snippets provided [7] [9]. The supplied patent hits for multiple Cox individuals show the surname’s prevalence among inventors and underline the risk of conflating different people with similar names [3] [5].
6. Next steps to confirm ownership or inventorship
To settle this conclusively, consult (and cite) primary IP records: USPTO trademark search for the Memory Lift mark and USPTO patent assignment and application records for any Paul Cox linked to supplement formulations or the Memory Lift brand [10]. Also check corporate filings and the Memory Lift product label or “about us” sections for manufacturer or registrant names; those details do not appear in the provided sources [7].
Limitations: this analysis uses only the supplied search results; where the sources are silent, I note that explicitly rather than infer facts (p1_s1–[11]; [2]–[8]; [12]–[12]3).
