They wouldn’t care
But also
That can be checked
So if they cared, they would look and see you are lyingFrom what I can tell it’s impossible to avoid copyright theft in China.
Do your best to out perform, discredit, diminish and outrank your competition. Let it be known that they are thieves, sell inferior products (hopefully at least lol) and if you’re really petty bomb them with bad reviews/blast whatever social media. There’s an ethical line but they drew first blood and are taking food off your plate…
Why not hire a lawyer and make sure you are protected? The law works in China just like anywhere else
This is the most comical thing I’ve ever read
I’m based in China, Chinese IP laws run parallel to western IP laws, meaning they don’t recognize international patents, they have their own, if you register your patent under a Chinese patent then you’ll be well protected but if you don’t do that step having a intl patent means nothing — NAL, just my basic understanding.
The famous case was the new balance Chinese brand name which was an issue for all of the 11 years I’ve been in china and I think only finally got settled a couple of years ago.
There is no such thing as an Alibaba manufacturer.
Unless you start ordering in the hundreds of thousands, they arent worried about your idea. millions maybe. And they will rip it off as soon as they believe it is profitable for them.
Telk them. Won’t hurt
Use yumari rather than alibaba. The patent is still unlikely to protect you - though Mexico is friendlier than china on these issues. But mexican manufacturers themselves are way less likely to steal IP than the Chinese.
