Rogers has published several investigative articles under CLT Publishing with a considerable amount of documentation (EXHIBITS) in a pattern of facts regarding FIREHOUSE SUBS, Co-Founders, Chris and Robin unlawful Trademark filing acts for/as Firehouse Restaurant Group, Inc. ("FRG"). My investigations and reports were done from 2012 and unearthed much more willful, fraudulent acts about the FIREHOUSE SUBS, Co-Founder, Chris and Robin Sorensen back-story after the Federal Case concerning FD Captain, Heath Scurfield of Horry County, SC. who fought back legally against the unethical Restaurant Business "Bully's, FIREHOUSE SUBS Co-Founders, Chris and Robin Sorensen...
- These Investigative Articles and the material evidence unearth by Author, Rogers from 2012 to 2016 revealed further; extensive, Trademark Fraud by Chris and Robin Sorensen over the years. There were Formal Complaints made to the proper Federal Agencies.
- William H. Rogers authored investigative articles under CLT Publishing contains a volume of evidentiary documentation in a pattern of facts (as unearthed from 2012 to 2016 by Rogers) concerning fraud in the obtainment of ---ALL---"FIREHOUSE" SUBS Registered Trademarks (144) filed by Chris and Robin Sorensen of FIREHOUSE SUBS. This deep and broad Trademark Fraud by Co-founders, Chris and Robin Sorensen of FIREHOUSE SUBS is only partially revealed and founded in Federal Court Records, Florence South Carolina Division. Later, by the Time-lines involving USPTO Filing Records, Court Records, Deposition Testimony and Trademark Assignment Records unearthed from 2011 and up until 2016 by William H. Rogers (Billy Rogers) there were more details in hard copy records, that clearly evidence repeat "fraud in the procurement" and "fraud in the maintenance" of Trademark Registrations---committed by Robin Sorensen upon the USPTO. Then, in 2016, outrageously, a TD Bank Trademark Assignment by the Sorensen brothers of all the Trademark Registrations in the "FIREHOUSE SUBS "Trademark Portfolio (144) accumulated over the years.
- These other exclusive investigative articles by William H. Rogers were/are unearthed by William H. Rogers having personal first-hand knowledge of the early on FIREHOUSE SUBS business venture (from 1993) and full knowledge of the subsequent Federal and State Trademark Registrations Filed after the 1993 time period. These exclusive investigative articles by William H. Rogers were derived from first-hand, personal observations and researching public recorded facts gathered regarding Chris and Robin Sorensen, "Firehouse Subs" the Franchisor. Basically, William H. Rogers several investigative articles under CLT Publishing alongside his pattern of facts in tangible documentation is a---"who done it" (and when) Authorship.
The 2011 "firehouse" Trademark Fraud bell cannot be unrung by the FIREHOUSE SUBS, Co-Founders; Chris and Robin Sorensen "intent to deceive" the United State Patent and Trademark Office as determined by the findings of a United State Federal Court, in Florence SC. Therefore, All----"FIREHOUSE" SUBS, Federal and State Trademarks Registrations (144 Federal Applications) filed over the years and thereafter licensed for Royalties to Franchisee's were, as a matter of law, fraudulently obtained and maintained by Co-Founder; Robin Sorensen (under the Lanham Act). Below you can see a few examples of the fraud and deception documented concerning FIREHOUSE SUBS Trademark Applications filed by Robin Sorensen alongside a sworn statement ("Declaration") to Officials under 18 Section 1001 United States Code.

Whats-more, even after being caught red handed in Trademark Registration Fraud on the USPTO in 2011 the Sorensen brothers still persisted to trademark bully small businesses using the word "Firehouse" by filing lawsuits and costing those victims large legal fees and/or foring the small businesses to succumb to the bad faith, legal demands to cease using the word "Firehouse".
In essence, FIREHOUSE SUBS, Co-Founder, Chris and Robin Sorensen have habitually, committed fraud many times over on many entities and committed Intellectual Property Theft upon many folks too, not only myself/Billy Rogers;
For the most part all the lawsuits filed by Chris and Robin Sorensen of FIREHOUSE SUBS alleged Trademark Infringement of the word "Firehouse"; HOWEVER, all the bad faith legal actions filed were based on the fraudulently obtained and legally invalid Trademarks (144) of "FIREHOUSE SUBS" as unethically filed to USPTO and/or State Agency's by Robin Sorensen since 1993. It has been said; truth is stranger than fiction.
