Zamperla sues Chinese rip off companies for $138m

[furie]

Apparently the phrase "copyright infringement" doesn't translate very well into Mandarin

The Chinese characters to represent it are L-O-L

I have to say, it sounds like the authorities and IAAPA had this planned for when the Chinese companies arrived. No one just rustles up a sign saying "Stall closed due to intellectual property theft". And good on them for doing it!

Or the companies are just crazy prepared, always bringing one when going to fairs abroad, in case the inevitable happens.

Alternately, the sign was presented to them as a gift to go along with all the lawsuit papers. You know, like they do with kids' magazines.

Can you stop changing the picture that I've quoted in my post, thus changing my actual post, please? Especially not to one taken with **** Instagram. Thanks.

Appently there were three booths that had this happen to them & the original photo I posted wasn't the correct booth, so I found a photo of the correct booth & replaced the original. Sorry that it's Instagram. Didn't realize that those are forbidden on CF. :wink:
