WHO FORGES BATHMATE?
Since the beginning of Bathmate in 2006, after the active acknowledgement of efficiency of the new method of penis size correction by hydraulic power, up to this day, in different countries appear the new "craftsmen" which start a handicraft production of hydropumps, hiding behind the original Bathmate label, selling junk to consumers through all selling points beginning from sex-shops and ending with internet stores. The main manufacturers of counterfeit are located in China, Korea, India and other countries.
Many "craftsmen" in different countries are joined by one purpose – the maximum profit.
It's not hard to guess that enterprising, new "craftsman" does not think about the quality of the product, because the purpose of the counterfeit is not development of the brand, not to please the consumer, but implementation in a logistic chain: the producer – the seller.
Different online and offline sellers are usually only profit oriented and try purchasing a product as cheap as they can to increase the trade markup, thus supporting the active production of counterfeit. The cost of such product is so low that there's no way it could be of good quality, and most of the time, the counterfeit of branded product means "cheating" the consumer, who is obviously trying to purchase a good product and who's going to be lied to during a sale. In order for the deception to take place, counterfeits are made visually as close to the original as possible. What will happen later with the product and the customer, doesn't concern the manufacturer of counterfeit.
AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE EXPOSURE OF ONE OF THE MANUFACTURERS OF COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS
"There are more and more companies encroaching on a quick profit", - says John Oakes, creator of Bathmate.
The year of court battles is finally over, starting with opening of court trials and ending with concluding phase of complete destruction of Bathmate counterfeit, which was made by the craftsmen in Southern Korea.
The organization was made out of four people who nearly "on their knees", at home conditions, made counterfeits of Bathmate hydropumps.
The pump flasks were made on the bottle making factory and goffer-pumps on the local rubber factory. At home, all details were assembled with regular glue.
This product was sold to sex-shops under the Bathmate brand, passing off fakes for the original. Moreover, the product reached wholesale warehouses. Judging from the amount of product, the "craftsmen" worked day and night.
One of the sex-shop clients exposed the fraudsters. The pump boxes were printed with excellent polygraphs but the quality of the pumps was very poor.
"IT'S A SIGH OF RELIEF, BUT WE KNOW THAT BATTLE ISN'T OVER YET, THERE'S STILL CHINA AHEAD", SAYS OAKES.
"To counterfeit activities of small and medium-sized enterprises, leads mainly greed and short-term profits. They didn't develop, didn't go through testing, and didn't pay for patents and trademarks.
They simply copy, sometimes with pathetic methods, like it was in this case.
Right now, 90% of internet sex-shops are filled with dangerous counterfeit fakes from China, Korea, and India of all popular firms.
Not having financial funds for the factory product, young entrepreneurs call themselves a "group of professionals". Teenagers, ages 13-18, create internet-shops, who are ready to buy junk goods at bargain prices, to sell them cheaper than original, creating a strong competition to the real firms."
This was explained by Mr. Beaumont, the legal overseer of the Bathmate brand.
