假如,仅仅是假如,你们继续和有信件往来,考虑一下加上这么一段吧:
Dear Mr. Reeve:
It surprised me that this forum drew your attention but apparently it is not oriented by pleasing matters. Being a lover of your product, and reading your comment seriously I really got something in my throat.
1. It is not the first day to know about the design copying issues here in China for anyone. Clearly we understand, and Chinese citizens and government are working on this, which can only be solved in long run, not in one day. The Chinese knife craft men are suffering this pain as well as you do, so there is no reason that we treat this problem differently in China or oversea. That is why I am supporting this by actual practice: do not buy or sell phony ones.
2. Speaking of the intellectual property invade, however this is not something that really drives me to support you. As far as I understand, a patent will only be recognized in a local country after it is approved and issued by Global Patent Group(or something like that, really I am not familiar with it). Since the application period is time/money costing(3-5 years), most companies(including the top500) only apply for it in the original country where they locate. Not to challenge you but did CRK apply for patent in China? What about Russia, India, Thailand, Vietnam bla bla bla?
If the CRK product was not issued with patent in China, and frankly speaking I think it is not a intellectual property invade technically, for those copy cats in China. Once again I am not saying copy is right but it is not illegal.
3. For those phony products and copied designed ones sold to US, I think that is another case. I guess they must have some local distributors and dealers working this out. So this is more a market channel controlling issue rather than intellectual property protection. SUE THE ONES WHO HELP TO DUMP, this is something CRK can absolutely do, and it is much more easier and realistic than asking companies in another country to stop production.
4. About the currency and competition problem, well if I may ask, has China ever been given any chance in the early and middle of last century? Who is going to pay for our lost in that period? Were China and US on the same start line of the run? We are selling products at low cost only because we got low paid, and because our grandparents/ our parents all suffer much in their generations. We are still suffering today(take me for instance, my salary can’t afford to by a CRK product anyway)! We paid and still paying heavy cost(ruining environment then fix it again) to compete . There is absolutely a quick solution for currency problem though not quite possible, emigrate 100 million people to US, then bring down the rate to 1:4, how about that?
Anyway, sir I admire your achievement and still my dream is to own a CRK knife.
Truly your big fan
