Tencent’s Piece of Advice: Co-creation Leads to IP Value Not Transactions →

An Audi logo with 5 circles: an extra wheel on the car or IP infringement?

Posted on March 31, 2016 by Dr. Danny Friedmann

China Daily reports on a car dealer in Binzhou in Shandong province which is offering imitations of well-known trademarked automobiles such as Audi, Jixiangjinma and BMW. These electric knock-offs are priced at 20,000 yuan, are powered by small batteries and can not go faster than 26 km/h.
