<p>Wow. So Lifespan is amazingly cheap and Mathmos is so pricey that my ferrofluid lava lamp is actually less expensive! That's interesting. </p>

<p>I'm not sure if UK laws allow for the same type of thing. I know you do have crazy high VAT, but apparently that's not enough to stop it. What are average prices for lava lamps over there? Lifespan vs Mathmos</p>

<p>Mathmos is made in UK. I imagine it's as simple as Lifespan Brands made it pretty clear to Mathmos that if they shipped to US they would burden them in legal fees. (It's frivolous but lawsuits in the US are games of who has more money and have less to do with who's actually on the right side of the law. The way US law works, they can fairly easily stop all shipments from Mathmos at customs and force them to show up to court. That becomes a net loss very quickly.) Until that burden is lower…</p>

Until that burden is lower than the money that can be made shipping in the US, Mathmos will prefer to not re-enter the US market. Or the IP landscape could change, but that seems unlikely.</p> cant see why they cant sell i…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2018-02-10:1566398:Comment:6690772018-02-10T17:11:28.908ZJohnnyhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/Johnny518

<p>I think they've been using that term for awhile now. It's possible they agreed to not ship to the US so that they could keep using the term without constant threat of lawsuit. I think that's more of a back door type deal not made public. Obviously they want to sell in the US because they have a landing page collecting emails to notify people when Mathmos will be available in the US. They likely will try to enter US market again when they feel the timing is right. </p>

<p>That's a good point. I don't believe they ever got a ruling in their favor on the issue while battling Mathmos.</p>
