Wait a minute. This is not a question of counterfeiting. This is case of jailing the fridge user to use GE filters.
If the 3rd party are selling their cartridges with GE branding without GE's consent, that would be counterfeiting.
GE could easily allow other cartridge manufacturers to build and to supplier.
Look at the CO2 cartridges used in the Sodastream machines.
- IshKebab 7y agoWhat about the CO2 cartridges? Sodastream has attempted to stop people using third parties to refill them by using a weird connector. Is that not similar?
- yitchelle 7y agoThat must be quite a while ago. I have a Sodastream and have been using non-Sodastream CO2 cartridges with it for at least 5 years. What they have tried to do is when you exchange your empty cartridges for a full one, they will only accept Sodastream cartridges. However, 3rd party cartridges are available quite readily everywhere.
