Without going into too much detail, I want to share with you some information about legal issues at Trade Fairs in China.

Patent and Copyright Infringements

You may have found booths that had been closed down and sealed and you thought it strange. At all international Trade Fairs it is common practice on the first day for lawyers or other legal representatives from manufacturers of famous brand names to swarm the exhibition hall and check for the following details:

* Copyright violations

* Patent infringements

* Has the factory obtained the required licenses; for instance for DVD players

* Has the factory paid the necessary licenses; for instance MP3 players

Especially in Europe and the United States, any copyright or patent infringement will be dealt with. Even if the supplier showed a product at their booth (trading company) that was not manufactured by them, they will be held responsible.

Usually the products will be confiscated and the exhibitor will receive a court order and has to pay a fine. In severe cases like a DVD player w/o a valid license, the booth will be immediately closed and the manufacturer could even face arrest if there is a risk that he will try to escape.

I just want to draw your attention to this and make you sensitive to copyright or patent infringements. Chinese companies sometimes have a different understanding of copyright or patent laws.  Read more...
