the real aquaskipper
This page is to help our potential customers identify the real Inventist AquaSkipper from counterfeits. Here are the four main differences which distinguish the real AquaSkipper from the fakes:
- Materials. The aluminum of the Inventist AquaSkipper consists of 7005 aircraft grade aluminum, compared to the 6061 of the fakes. Also, all of the connecting joints are made to last, unlike those of the fakes.
- Spring. The counterfeit is not of the same proprietary materials as the Inventist AquaSkipper. The counterfeit springs are known to fail after only a short period of time.
- Liability insurance. The manufacturer of the fake does not carry liability insurance.
- Box size. The easiest way to identify counterfeits is by the size of the box. Inventist's AquaSkippers are newer models and fit into smaller boxes than the fake ones do, as shown in the picture below.
In short, the copiers have not only made illegal, inferior copies of our AquaSkipper, but they have also copied word-for-word our manual and flyer advertising. We are taking legal steps to stop the blatant infringement of our trademark and patent. The copiers are also trying to sell the AquaSkipper under other names, such as the Waterbird.
Hammacher Schlemmer and SkyMall are both authorized and legitimate distributors in the United States. Please note that there are currently no legal distributors in China.
Don't be fooled; protect yourself and contact us if you have any questions regarding the AquaSkipper.
AquaSkipper® is a registered trademark of Inventist, Inc. and the AquaSkipper is patented in the US and China and pending in Korea.
