US Marshalls shut down Chinese copycats

Very interesting. Due to the technical aspects of patents, I can see how sometimes it could happen accidentally, but in this case there are some key phrases in the judge's order such as...

It appears to the Court that Defendants are China-based manufacturers of
aftermarket auto care parts and automotive specialty products that, with the exception of their
temporary presence in Las Vegas during the AAPEX and/or SEMA tradeshows, do not have a
regular place of business or assets in the United States.

The ‘084 Infringing Products, ‘290 Infringing Products, and ‘995 Infringing
Products and materials evidencing Defendants’ infringements alleged in the Complaint are in
Defendants’ possession at the AAPEX and/or SEMA tradeshows currently taking place in Las
Vegas, Nevada, but these materials would likely be destroyed, moved, hidden or otherwise made
inaccessible to the Court if Omix were to proceed on notice to Defendants


Would have been fun to watch this happen....

The United States Marshals Service may use all reasonable force in conducting the
seizure and may open doors, locks, boxes, brief cases, and containers of any type or nature to
locate and identify Materials to be seized. Attorneys and other representatives of Omix shall
accompany the United States Marshals Service during the seizure to identify the Materials to be
seized. Omix’s counsel shall itemize and take possession of the seized Materials, provide a copy
of the inventory to the United States Marshals Service, and file the inventory with the Court.

China Inc has repeatedly insured us that our patents are irrelevant. They do not recognize or honor any of them, US or Europe. I know this from our storage and computer architecture patents.

Sad but true. One day maybe we'll have the guts to stand up to them. Unfortunately our businesses need their customers, so no one is willing to take the hard stand.

Cool pics Don but... thanks for the invite. :kickrock:

That dude probably drew some attention!

The 'green' slammed Buick is very cool ...looks like something the Ring Brothers would do.
