Description
This company recently attended a trade fair in China, where they encountered a copy of their newly developed cleaning robot displayed by a Chinese company. To the SME’s surprise, they also discovered that the same Chinese company had copied a range of SME’s products and even used the pictures of the SME’s products on their banner at the trade fair. At the advice of the Chamber of Commerce of one of the Member State, the SME contacted the China IP SME Helpdesk for advice on the next steps.
