chinese counterfeitng

All pro tennis rackets from Wilson to Prince to Babolat are made in China, have been for at least 20 years. All Apple iPhones and iPads - also made in China. Armani Exchange - China. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

When I was a child lawyer (they have those, when you get out of law school you have to learn how to be a lawyer), i cut my teeth on ’knock off’ cases at the very beginning- ca 1981. One case involving I can’t remember what- typically they were licensed toy knock off cases-- had a US defendant who had commissioned the infringing work. His day book or diary was marked at a deposition and had a pithy aphorism on each page (as part of the publication of blank pages with dates). A critical page in his case had the maxim "Imitation is the greatest form of flattery" at the top of the page. Life is strange.

Hegel...made in China.

Parasound, Tannoy....China.
