In Taiwan in 1981, 300 factories where copying Uwe Meffert's Pyraminx and even more were copying the Rubik's Cube; it was a hard and costly 5 year fight. But in the end we won: the Taiwan Government changed their Patent law and did what no one believed possible -- overnight they locked up the owners of each copy factory for two years without a trial, thinking if the Boss is in Jail the factory will soon close and this worked like a charm. According to senior people in the China Intelligent Properties office, this time round the China Government is not just a lot of bla bla and that the new patent and copyright laws passed last December will be strictly enforced.
