Patent laws are not enforceable against Chinese manufacturers.
Plus there's a kind of cultural difference - even WITHIN China, it's not seen as particularly bad form to copy another company's product...

Are patent laws only affective in the US, or country of origin or are they world wide patents? How is china able to get around the patent laws to clone. I don't understand the laws I guess. I always heard a patent was a license to steal.
I just dont get it. I have seen antique gun shows and how during wars one allie would sell the rights of a gun patent to another country. How can someone just rip off a patent with out litigation. Or does the stuff being cloned not have a patent?
Been wondering about this for sometime now.
