GEBE wait list

I plan to get a GEBE too. after much reserch seems like a good place & good people to deal with. With whats happening in our country with the price of oil and the problems its causing you can't put the blame on GEBE, it's beyond thier control and they are probably as upset about it as we are. Thier comment on thier site says it all. Plus nobody has ever said they lost anything while dealing with GEBE. Lets stand behind them now, they will stand with us later on when we need help.
 
The drive ring and toothed belt and other parts look like a copy of the GEBE system. Wonder if a lawsuit will follow?


They may BOTH have patents in their respective countries. Patent law is very complex (and I don't pretend to have a handle on it). It's one of those things that I think the expense of enforcing ends up falling on the person or company who feels their patent was infringed upon. A US patent or trademark does not automatically protect you in other countries. No international treaty completely defines patents; trademarks, copyright law or other forms of intellectual property, because the laws of various countries often differ from one another significantly. There is, therefore, no such thing as a truly international trademark, patent or copyright. To secure rights in another country you usually have to apply for a patent register or trade mark in each country you plan to enter. So if these guys are selling in the US, AND it can be proven that they've infringed upon GEBE's patent, there could be trouble.

FOLLOW UP - I found this on a site called "stopfakes.gov" Interesting:

Why should I protect my intellectual property abroad?
"Most U.S. small businesses are not aware that their patent or trademark does not protect them in other countries. If you are an exporter, or think you might want to export in the future, you will need to seriously consider securing protection for your intellectual property (IP) in those foreign markets of interest to you. It is a good idea to get the appropriate forms of IP protection before you start doing business in another country.

Some U.S companies have found that foreign manufacturers have copied their products, packaging and business plans, even though they had never done business abroad. Foreign counterfeiters can easily steal your product pictures, brochures and logos from your website and register the material as their own inventions in their country, if you have not registered it there already. For this reason, some U.S. small companies seek trademark and patent protection in large potential markets well in advance of actually exporting to those markets."

I want to deal with the people who have proven thier self to the other members on the forum. " I will only buy mine from GEBE " . If I do go with this drive system . They use American parts and put Americans to work, but not only that they have a track record that shows what thier product and service is worth.

I agree completely with your reasoning. I chose the Staton kit for the same reasons.
