Inova X1 copy

Not sure if anyone has posted this before, buy Dae appears to have an exact copy of the Inova X1 led spotlight on his wholesale light.

Looks pretty good to me. Might be a cheaper option for those of you who are looking to mod an X1.

Yup. Sure looks like an X1 clone to me. Except this one seems to be the "old style" with the spotlight optic, instead of the newer style that offers more flood.

This might be a nice find for those who prefer the old X1.

Made by MPtech which also makes this crappy clone of the X5...

Honestly Im sick of these kind of people but whatever....

Not my cup of tea, I prefer the original item

Jeez, even the packaging is copied.

I can't believe Dae is allowed to sell stuff that violates intellectual property like that here.

How 'bout if he were white and living in the U.S.?

The whole deal is, I believe, patent infringement can't be enforced in this situation. If a U.S. based entity was distributing or selling such items, it would be a different story.

If Emissive Energy does indeed have a patent on this design and were to pursue an action with the ITC, an injunction could be issued against the importation of these products.

And if Emissive didn't exercise due diligence in protecting their IP and designs, it would be difficult to start singling out individual US importers as well.

if you are gonna start calling me a racist, take it to underground, this is not the appropriate place for it.

You've already answered my question, thank you.

No I didn't. I am following CPF rules to remind you to take personal attacks to underground.

By the way I am of Asian American parentage, all the bay area CPFers who went to TOny and Jpeg's togethers would know.

Brighteyez you need to chill the hell out, there wasnt even a remote sense of racism from what he said.

On another note, since Dae sends the items directly to the purchaser, from China, there is approximately 0 chance of being able to "block them from import".

I wish inova had just kept this light in production.
