Based on a lead by Therapy Team Educational Services and following a brief investigation, on September 5, 2008, FSBPT filed a lawsuit against American Healthcare Review Center, a New Jersey-based test preparation company offering courses and study materials to candidates preparing for the National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE).
The lawsuit alleges that American Healthcare has infringed FSBPT's copyright in its Practice Exam and Assessment Tool (PEAT), which American Healthcare has been reproducing and distributing to its customers without FSBPT's authorization. Also named as defendants in the lawsuit are three individuals believed to be owners, operators and/or instructors with American Healthcare - Rhandy Libiran, Mary Grace Tapar, PT, and Dharrian Jaype, PT. The defendants have not yet formally responded to the lawsuit.
Therapy Team Educational Services offers live review courses for the PT and PTA NPTE. They have also issued a cease and desist letter to American Healthcare Review Center for infringement of Therapy Team's copyrighted materials.
