Vortech on the other hand, there is a clear new design development.

If Tunze has sent out a letter, they feel there's an infringement. I couldn't find anything other then talk about the letter, and I really should be working... but at a quick glance it does look like just a cease and desist letter right now. Sometimes that's the prelude to legal action, sometimes it ends with the letter.

Regardless, to me it looks like they've ripped off Tunze's innovation and design; as far as I know, it is Tunze's design. Show me where someone had a powerhead designed like that prior to Tunze and I'll happily eat my words.

Big brands always send out letters whenever they sense any form of unavoidable competition
