China's patent strategy worrying foreign firms


Copying the patents of others seems to be the next stage?

Not every country uses the same system and they really should, the patent should follow the products into all markets.

Seriously if a patent is filed in China and already exists in other countries under another name, it's then a stolen patent! If the patent in another country is to be registered in China then it should come with a contract for that purchase of that patent from the owner of it.

Seems like all the new Chinese patents could be nothing more then Chinese firms filing patents that they take out of the patent registries of other countries?

I really enjoy what the Japanese do to bikes....

this is the modern version...its a ST250/TU250 it has the new engine Jinan Qinqqi developed production of in china.

another version of the ST250

another new version of the Grass Tracker, the difference is the new engine.

You can be sure Suzuki has design patents on these and their JV partners in china have access but what that allows them to do as for international marketing would be contractual, but what if a partner violates a contract terms. Seeking damages would be very mcuh like cutting of your nose to spite your face.

The old Volty is not unappealing, its actually a cool looking bike.

They are all based off this standard model, basically just modified versions of the base GN250.

What!? I didn't hear!

Who said Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone Militare!?

Bottom line: it's not too difficult to come up with enough interesting bike at a fair price, that is not "plain vanilla" .
