I went to an international electronics trade show many years ago and was surprised (back then) to see Russian and Chinese copies of the Tektronix oscilloscope I had spent a motza buying for my workshop.
When I enquired I was simply informed that Russia and China did not recognise international patents.
Mind you, that was back in the 1970's....
Still the case for China at least, but any countefeit or copy cannot be sold within the copyright area. A copyright may be taken out in Australia, North America Europe or worldwide. No doubt Africa and South America also have agreements, but each area is a seperate copyright and cost.Quote:

Also when deflating a 35" tyre it took for ever. I actually went back to just pulling the valves out till I used a mates curie deflator.
Stauns are a great bit of kit, and they were Australian designed and made.
They're not owned by some fatcat multinational either (not that it makes a difference), but still locally and Australian owned.
The rip offs aren't anywhere as good, in terms of quality or accuracy.
I think it's sad people are so quick to buy Chinese rip off stuff and don't think about it.
I understand affordability, but supporting intellectual property theft, and overseas rip offs does Aussies out of jobs.
Sorry I beg to differ, I have already stated that mine are and I have bothQuote:
