Reefsavvy's Ghost Overflow: Patent Pending?

[NeveSSL]

If you buy one and receive it, wouldn't they then be back in production?

If you can even order one??

Patience, grasshopper.

Hopefully I can get one before April. Just got on the list.

So you are now telling me that ReefSavvy will now be charging more in the future for this overflow box? If so that is down right crazy. No way is costs that much to make these overflows.

How do these compare to glas holes?\

I really want to wait for the ghost overflow and will but not if the price is going to be higher. They are already borderline overpriced IMO.

Why should they sell it at cost or near cost?

Other companies will enter the market if there is enough demand.

Do you include licensing fees to Reef Savvy?

I don't think Reef Savvy invented THE coast to coast bean animal.

 

[FlyPenFly]

You're selling them. Big difference.

Where's Reef Savvy's patent on a coast to coast bean animal?

 

[NeveSSL]

How is yours not exactly the same as theirs?

I don't think anyone holds a patent on this stuff. I've not looked it up, though. Have you?

If you're trying to say something, if anything Bean and Herbie should get a royalty from Reef Savvy for each unit sold but I bet they're not.

For what, exactly? Nothing they've done is patentable, as far as I know. No patents show up under Bean Animal's name (William Burnett), although I didn't check for the Herbie. My understanding is that the siphon that his design is dependant on is a natural occurance and cannot be patented and therefore is not patented.

A siphon is not natural by any means however this plumbing method has been used for nearly 2,000 years so I'm certain the Roman patent has expired.

It is commonly used in resevoirs, water treatment facilities, and countless industrial plants.

How is a siphon not natural?

Brandon

 

[FlyPenFly]

The novel application of siphons for aquarium use with valves is probably patentable but I am not a lawyer.

 

[NeveSSL]

They are not. The reason? They're natural.

Everything is natural. An electron moving from one place to another is natural but certain types of circuits are patentable.

Ok, I've deleted quite a few posts here. First this is not a selling forum. Secondly, anyone who manufactures products can not sell them here.
