Jebao WP25 Information

There seem to be some kind of copyright infringement and someone posted something from jebao saying that all production is being halted?!?! There's a thread in this forum about it. I'm sooo glad I just check my tracking number from Mac from the GB. My wp25 were delivered today!

I read through the thread and saw nothing about Jebao halting production. It sounds like Tunze is scaring U.S. distributors into pulling it from their shelves. This doesn't mean you won't still be able to purchase the pumps from fish street or by other means besides U.S. distributors.
 
Champion Lighting have WP40 listed in their pump selection, but when you click on it nothing comes up. I don't know if they had it up and took it down or what? I'm curious as to what they were selling for. I've bought quite a bit from them in the past, I'll email them tomorrow and see what they have to say
 
The outputs are different, the mount is different, I really don't see them as a copy. I guess my chevy could be a knockoff going off of that
 
My 2 wp25's come tommrow, cant wait. My 2 wp40's will still take a while to get here but i can wait for them. The 25's ia what ive really wanted to try

The mounting system is cosmetically different, but functionally the same. I know some of the 'phone wars' is about cosmetics, but i think here its a case of function. Also their ball dimensions are identical on the WP 25 to the nanostream line... so technically they could skip making the mount, make the pump ball only, and tell people to buy tunze mounts.

I don't really agree with there being copyright issues though, even with the above... Its a potted DC motor with a propeller on it. If you can copyright that then i'm sure somebody did it before Tunze (like toy makers for bathtub boats...) Tunze just made it bigger. And a ball is a ball. Would be like the guy who invented circles getting royalties for every wheel ever made...

Just hope this drives the price down, instead of up, because there are less large buyers while the supply output remains the same... But most likely the few sellers will buy more cheaper and sell them for more since they have no competition =C. Should have ordered with the GB.

UPDATE EVEYONE PLZ READ!!
Hello everyone,

We we have received a letter for a patent violation on the Jebao pumps and their design. Everyone at this time in the US has been ordered to cease and desist all sales and orders on the Jebao pumps including the import into the US.

So what does this mean for our GB?

Well the GB is officially over as of today, and no new orders will be allowed. We will attempt to fulfill the orders for the pumps as we have the pumps on order. If for some reason the pumps do not arrive to us, we will then have to issue refunds for everyone that purchased the pumps. We will do everything we can to fulfill the orders that everyone has placed, however any orders placed after 5/22/13 will be canceled and refunded.

The pumps have already been removed from our site.

As stated above we will issue refunds to everyone if for some reason we are not able to get the pumps in. We should know more on that hopefully by the end of the week.

Thanks again everyone and we will keep you posted!

Hey it's not as grande and well organized as yours, but my point was that Jebao seems to be putting an end to group buys and not shipping to the US.

I don't think it's Jebao putting a end to gb's but the gb organizer (Fragtastic Reef) pulling the plug after getting the letter.
 
The quote sounds more like the guy organizing it is stopping taking orders, while still trying to fill the orders that were already placed, and if not fix it with refunds etc... Nowhere does it sound like Jebao was contacted about the whole deal.

I'm sure they can't do anything only would stop stores selling in the USA but will not stop online buys...
