The Gloves Are Off!!!!!!!!

Interestingly enough you won't be able to claim royalties, nor could you register and or claim that patent, however you would be able to claim prior art, (assuming you can prove it), which would negate SMOKs patent, (if they have one?), meaning no one wins, least of all you guys, as you'd end up with a massive legal bill ... been there, done that :(
Proof is in the twisp thread somewhere.
If we get the lawyer I will find the thread.
@Dela Rey Steyn I'll share the company with you. 50/50 split!
 
You reap what you copy @Timwis , it will come back 10 fold. Karma is big that side of the pond.
Problem is different cultures here we see proof that Voopoo's attitude is that stealing is not a bad thing but something to be admired! Same as the Maradona handball goal against England, Argentinians see it as skill as they view conning the officials is a valid part of the game while us English just saw him as a fat ugly coke fuelled cheating dwarf!

Wahaha, that guy is still pissing the English off with that? Somebody will steal their idea and make massive amounts of money and then they will get some butt hurt therapy. I look at it like this, it's my money they are fighting for, I'll just not spend it on them, I in fact I'm going to purchase that wotofo rebuildable and use it in my drag x and never buy a pnp coil again, mwahaha!:devil:

We are on to dodgy Indian cricket officials now mate, to get anywhere i think we have to get rid of the English sense of fair play and realise to win things we have to be cheats like everyone else!

The days of fair play are long gone, it's survival of the slippery now.
 
No man! ... If you want to teach them a lesson, then stop buying their products ... Lowering your standards is NOT the way to do it.

The Chinese don't give too hoots about thievery of designs, or your opinion of them for that matter, because they know that the western world will keep on buying their sh##, as we love a "good deal", to which the good deals only come about because they steal as apposed invest in research and development.

They play the game on a whole new level, and welcome good or bad press as solid marketing ... You're being played!

Or we could astablish our own brandimages-4.png
 
You guys are incorrigible :facepalm:

On a more serious note ... @Resistance ... I do think establishing a SA brand is a possibility, particularly so in that the Yuan is way stronger than the Rand, making S.A. even more attractive as a manufacturing / distribution hub for the continent.
We have unfortunately lost a lot of our Engineers and Scientists, and the ANC have certainly pulled once glorious innovative companies through our rear ends, aaaaand ... that just makes me hungrier to do it all again ... I'm sure there a good few more bored retirees just like me itching to give it a shot! ... (look at what's happening at Eishkom at the mo', with retired Engineers fixing the ANC's screw ups, FOR FREE! ;))
 
We don't just need engineers, we need a bullshit baffle brain marketing guy that can convince the cANCer that there will be millions to be made by having a state manufacturing company.

Easy, just say tender, done. Next problem?

We don't want to involve the cANCer, for many reasons, starting with, they have no money, and they certainly don't have anything we need.
As to marketing being bullshit baffles brains, erm ... nope! ... I'd rather have the real deal of creating and fullfilling needs ... There aint gonna be passengers on any bus I'm part of!

The UK may well be the only true first world country, however that's only because it outsources it's GDP .... O hello, we're one of them colonies that does the flippen inventing / manufacture for you guys :giggle:

I hardly think you invented the sock lol, to be honest i don't even think we are a big customer for said socks but seriously it was a massive sock factory in SA making some fine damn colourful socks! Quite the contrary we probably have invented more things than any other country but that uses up our funds so other countries then use their funds to make our inventions better!

I agree ... SA may well make socks, (not sure of that?), however I would hardly rate our inventiveness thereto.

Outsourcing you Gross Domestic Product by the way refers to the UK as being traders ... the UK may well have been a formidable player in industry in times gone by, (hell the Scots initiated the first Industrial revolution, albeit that they along with the Irish would like to see that association dissolved), however you are now to the better part traders as apposed producers, and inventiveness and manufacture, (even farming!), within the UK as I understand it, is at an all time low?

Yeah we are more world leaders in Science and specialised technologies. Even when it comes to Spacecraft everyone thinks of the US but you would be amazed how much the US rely on us to get said aircraft off the ground. Whether it's an important electrical component or more mundane things like touch screen lacquers, the space shuttles almost had a made in Britain stamp on them! (i know a couple blew up lol!!!!!!)!
