CASE DISMISSED! - University of Metaphysical Sciences Lawsuit - Predatory Litigation - Fake Articles
What Is The University Of Metaphysical Sciences Lawsuit About?
CASE DISMISSED on May 12, 2025 - No more University of Metaphysical Sciences Lawsuit (update).
University of Metaphysical Sciences has unfortunately had to deal with endless false allegations in 3 lawsuits from a competitor for almost 9 years now. The June 16-20, 2025 trial has been cancelled because of the dismissal.
Who Has Created The Endless University Of Metaphysical Sciences Lawsuit?
Here is the first docket filed in 2017. The same competitor has filed the same false allegations in two more lawsuits, still going almost 9 years later practicing Predatory Litigation against us. They have never won a lawsuit against because we never did anything wrong.
First, we are here to tell you that the University of Metaphysical Sciences’ Department of Education registration won’t be affected no matter the outcome of the lawsuit. Our accreditation is not an issue either. It isn’t that kind of lawsuit. If you like what UMS has to offer, don’t be afraid to sign up, because it truly is a beautiful and enlightening journey through our courses!
You might be wondering why there are so many year numbers in the title. The reason is there are long tail spammed search terms that come from the root terms like “university of metaphysical sciences lawsuit 2020” and “university of metaphysical sciences lawsuit 2021” and so on. Scroll below where we’ll explain it and take a look at the list.
Read our article at University of Metaphysical Sciences Lawsuit to see how spammed search terms work and how “someone” can get them into Google’s search engine. We know who did it, although we won’t say it here, but you can probably guess who would have the motivation, money and time to do such a dastardly thing to a competitor.
University of Metaphysical Sciences - Predatory Litigation Attack From Our Competitor
UMS has always cohabitated peacefully in the world with all other spiritual organizations. UMS WAS cohabitating peacefully until it was literally attacked almost 9 years ago by a competitor who didn’t want to share the metaphysical degree market with any other schools, particularly one that was becoming successful in its own right. The competitor is still going for it with predatory litigation after almost 9 years.
What is Predatory Litigation? We have an article about it here at University of Metaphysical Sciences Lawsuit, but in a nutshell, it is an epidemic unfair business practice that companies do to try to get rid of their competition. This is what is clogging up our courts in the USA, frivolous and baseless lawsuits that greedy companies do in order to get their other competitors out of the market.
There has been a congressional court hearing on this type of litigation here. Another eye opening article can be found here.
It is unfortunate UMS has been singled out in this way because it is a very unique and different kind of school than any other.
Fake Articles - University of Metaphysical Sciences Lawsuit
It gets worse. There are now 265 fake articles lying as to what the lawsuit is about. Talk about practicing business unfairly! Now who would have the money, time and motive to aggressively work hard to mislead the public as to what the University of Metaphysical Sciences lawsuit is about? This is not cheap!
These are “paid for to post” articles on what are called “article farms” selling backlinks to scam Google’s algorithms for search ranking of websites. These “article farms” pretend to be news sites and magazines, but they are just scam sites to sell back links, which is against Google’s policies to do.
If there are any articles you read saying this lawsuit is about anything other than fake ads we believe our competitor ran in order to frame us, they’re fake.
Remember, anyone can write anything they want on the internet, even if it isn’t true. The people who write slanderous articles doing harm to businesses are very sleazy people and probably not the kind of people you would want to listen to.
How To Tell If Article Is Fake
Is the site full of unrelated articles about various things, an “article farm” selling backlinks? There are usually 2 backlinks in each article to a website.
Does the author have any real journalism credentials or is this author name a fake name with a soandso@gmail.com account? This is not a real article if you’re seeing something like this. Is there even a profile or contact info for this writer?
Does the article point to any real references to back up what they’re saying in the article?
Does the article mention anything other than an ads dispute? If so, it’s a fake article.
No, our students, faculty and the government are not suing us. Again, this is a frivolous and petty lawsuit that has no media attention and no experts weighing in. Our accreditation is not in the lawsuit, nor our operations, financials, or any other topic that is mentioned in these articles. It’s just about fake ads we believe a competitor ran trying to frame us for ads we never ran.
University of Metaphysical Sciences Lawsuit – Defending Our Innocence
University of Metaphysical Sciences has never done anything wrong and the staff of UMS look forward to the court date when innocence is proven. We are not worried. We are confident in our case. The plaintiff has no proof we ran the ads they are accusing us of, and we have proof we didn’t. Our google adwords accounts do not lie.
There will probably be some courtroom drama over a couple frustrated emails staff exchanged in the office that no action was taken on, but in the end it all comes down to the facts, and the facts are on our side.
University of Metaphysical Sciences Lawsuit - What It’s About
This is the short version of what is happening in the University of Metaphysical Sciences Lawsuit, but if you want to know the full gamut, our side of the story can be found here.
UMS never ran any ads using another school’s name. We have proof of that which will be presented in court. That’s what this whole thing is about, believe it or not! For 9 years now, and 3 lawsuits trying to frame us for ads we didn’t run! This is literally the third lawsuit over fake ads. Our Google Adwords account reports do not lie and cannot be argued.
We are surprised they keep trying this angle with each new lawsuit. Our competitor didn’t win the first two lawsuits and it won’t win this one either.
A new batch of fake ads is made every time before hitting University of Metaphysical Sciences with another lawsuit. We believe the purpose isn’t to win, since no one can win with fake evidence, but it is more about putting a strain on UMS’s finances.
Fortunately, UMS has wealthy backers and does business in a reasonable way, so even during the lawsuit years we have still had a profit, unlike our competitor who has losses equal to their legal costs every year they have been suing us. It’s ridiculous how much money our competitor has spent practicing unfair business and predatory litigation.
How Much Money Our Competitor Spent On Predatory Litigation
According to their tax records, they will have spent $1.5 million suing us by the time this is over in June, and if they lose the lawsuit, they’ll be out $2 million! Fortunately UMS hasn’t had to spend a fraction of that to defend itself. The competitor is hurting themselves more financially than UMS. Not very smart use of money.
Our competitor expressed wanting to build a retreat center in Sedona, Arizona about 4 years ago. Wonder what kind of retreat center could have been built for between $1.5 to $2 million?
Anyway, more about Predatory Litigation:
Most companies finding themselves the victim of predatory litigation settle and let themselves be extorted for a settlement amount because they cannot afford to fight a full litigation for their innocence. It is costly, no doubt about it, and a huge waste of money, effort and time. However, most companies cannot endure financially any kind of litigation, let alone a long and expensive one.
Fortunately, UMS has been successful enough to be able to afford defending it’s innocence.
UMS is never going to do a payout $ settlement amount for something it never did wrong. It’s the principle of the matter. Preserving our reputation and proving our innocence is well worth the cost.
Disparagement of University of Metaphysical Sciences - Lawsuit Update
You may have found a disparaging webpage about the University of Metaphysical Sciences lawsuit where a couple short and frustrated emails between staff were shared. After having to put up with our traffic being stolen for years with the “university of metaphysical sciences sedona arizona” spammed search term, we did have a frustrated office exchange about it, but no action was taken. It was just frustrated office talk, nothing more.
The Google traffic was stolen with a manipulated spammed search term pushed into the top 10 suggestions for our school “university of metaphysical sciences sedona arizona.”
UMS is not in Sedona Arizona, it is in Arcata, California, but the misleading term caused people to think other schools in Sedona, Arizona were University of Metaphysical Sciences. It led people to our competitor’s schools even though people were typing in our full trademarked name. Go ahead and take a look at what schools are at the top of the search and you’ll know who spammed this search term into Google, making Google the unwitting violator of UMS’s trademarked name.
Here is what a spammed search term looks like. “University of metaphysical sciences sedona arizona” suddenly appeared Oct 2019 out of nowhere, and has had 10 searches per month, like clockwork, ever since. (0% means no significant changes)
Here is what a non-spammed suggested search term looks like. This is “university of metaphysical sciences reviews.”
See the difference? This is how you spam any search term you want into Google, looks like it only takes ten searches per month to get it in there! Probably have to use a vpn and make it look like all separate users, but there you have it.
UMS was completely pushed out of the search page results and even though the search term had our full trademarked name in it, no one could find us there. You’ll still have a hard time finding us there in that search for our name, but maybe on page 2 or 3 you’ll find us.
UMS just had to take the hit and lose a large portion of its traffic to the manipulated search term “university of metaphysical sciences sedona arizona” which was purposely created to cause market confusion. UMS had to give up on business in the metaphysical market being practiced fairly by this competitor. UMS has cohabitated peacefully with other schools, but this specific competitor is not capable of of practicing business fairly or cohabitating peacefully in the metaphysical degree market.
