MAKO Spearguns - Poor quality made in China

  • Just thought that I would add another morsel of information. Patents register new inventions which can be variations on prior ideas, but have to be different enough technically to score a patent. Registered designs protect the appearance of a product to prevent identical clones, for example in a dive mask or a speargun. Dive mask patents would have expired long ago, but registered designs are a different story. Once manufacturing went to China the whole concept of patents and registered designs went out of the window as far as they were concerned. That is why you can buy clones that only differ in the brand name shown on the item. Whether the materials used are identical is another matter, they may look the same when new, but can be made of inferior stuff. If you demand and monitor for materials A class to be used then you as an importer may get what you asked for, otherwise you may get materials Z class or anything in-between.
