fiogf49gjkf0d This thread is not about PurePower but since there is a LOT
about PP in there I think it would be reasonable to post it here. I got last
night a email with the following information. For sure my congratulation to Canadian,
the battle well won. I wish them to lock to collect their money, the Floridan judge
has zero authority in Taiwan but at least it will stop the US distributors to sell
it in US, well perhaps will stop as they very much might continue to sell. They
for sure will not be able to advertise, well unless they form a new company,
new name and new site… Well, in civilizer countries the situations like this
are very easy resolved by a quick visit to Baba Rapoport and breaking a few fingers
but James Gandolfini is dead. Anyhow, with all my congratulation to PP I would
like to note that the presents of Taiwanise "competitors" was not the
major company problems, at least as I recognized it…. Meanwhile my both PP3000 and PP3000+ keep running
with no problems of any kind. Below the latest PurePower update.

US Court Awards $649,000 damages to PurePower Partners
against Taiwan
Counterfeiter
St Petersburg, Florida, December 30, 2014: Circuit Court
Judge David Walker
today awarded $649,000 in damages against PurePower Audio
Video Power
Supplies Corp, a US registered subsidiary of Taiwan
electronics company
Winstream Technology Co., Ltd. and ordered the web site
offering the fake
products shut down permanently.
The Taiwan owned company began offering counterfeit versions
of PurePower®
audio power regenerators on December 4, 2011 and had been
operating in
contempt of court injunctions granted on December 14, 2011.
This injunction was
re-enforced by the court on January 5, 2012 with an order to
cease and desist
from the illegal counterfeiting activities. In spite of the
injunctions, it continued to
actively seek buyers for its fake goods using stolen dealer
and customer lists and
copied marketing materials. The counterfeiters actually
posted an exact
duplicate of the genuine PurePower Partners web site –
complete with our
customers’ testimonials and our copyright notices. They had
incorporated a new
company in Delaware USA with the confusingly similar name of
“PurePower
Audio Video Power Supplies Corp.”
The real PurePower (PurePower Partners LLC) had become a
technical and
performance leader in the high end audio and video market
with its unique
technology Power Regenerator developed in Canada in 2003.
PurePower
technology dramatically improves the sound and video
performance of high end
AV components by delivering perfect AC power 24/7, ending
the syndrome of
performance and dynamic response reductions due to poor AC
power. The effect
is familiar to most audiophiles as “that midnight sound”,
when they experience
the true capability of their audio and video systems on the
rare late night
occasions when their utility power is free from distortion
and voltage anomalies.
The trademarked PurePower® brand had already become a
notable technical
success and a favorite of audio enthusiasts worldwide with
favorable reviews in
international magazines and a dealer network spanning 30
countries. The
counterfeiting attack by the Taiwan owned company brought
confusion and
uncertainty to the marketplace. This caused very significant
business stress to
the true PurePower. With the support of our dealers and
distributors, PurePower
Partners continued undeterred with the development and
release of our new 3rd
generation power products. We have also expanded and
re-tooled our Canadian
facility to build our new, improved PurePower+ product line.
PurePower has moved aggressively to halt any sales of the
counterfeit product
and is counting on the support of the international high end
audio community.
According to Damian Janzen, President of PurePower Partners
LLC, “The moral
of our story is to always protect and defend your valuable
IP every second”.
“The one silver
lining of this frustrating experience was the amazing support of
high end audio dealers worldwide. With very few exceptions
they refused to deal
with the counterfeit company, even while we could not yet
supply our new 3rd
generation product. They exhibited a very high degree of
ethical business
practices - making us proud to be part of this industry.”
