8. If the product wasn’t going to sell enough to cover these fees and overhead, it was only there to rip off sales from American Companies

So how would we ever get your plan implemented in the next administration?
This does look at knockoffs. but much of chinese business in textiles and other areas are not affected by patents. They have either cheap labor or massive automation.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau?
Oh wait the incoming administration wants to do away with that agency..
Sorry Mark you should quit sitting on the damn fence post and dive in if you are really looking for a change!!!
I’d support a policy like that. 👍
There’s a whole industry of abusive lawyers, bulk TM buyers/sellers, and gibberish trademarks that are being accepted at scale by the Feds.
Trb coins
Tesla stocks
Investment platform scammed!!!!
3 strikes.
I guess it depends on the business case.
5k is a steep entry fee for someone working out of their garage.
Difference.
Lemme go read the idea again.
So it will probably never be done by Trump
Our unique business model mixes all the benefits of patent trolling with on-shore rapid prototype farms & empty shell companies!
Increase rivals costs, delay their time-to-market, weaponise regulation, and monopolise your market - with no liability risk!”
i.e. innovation must be substantial to qualify as non-infringing, monopolistic supply chains with little competition, limited differentiation & choice, incumbency advantage, high barriers to entry…
The idea is great but there’s an ontology problem worth discussing. Many counterfeits on Amazon are first listed as one thing, approved, then edited. Final description must be binding.
Plan B is the USA ends tariffs.
No direct sales from China or any other country to United States consumer. All purchases must go through a USA business entity.
USA companies must be held liable for patent violations. Let's let Americans be accountable. It's the only way forward. #USA
It's hard to take a foreign entity to court in United States.
Russia's GPD by the way is one-fifteenth the size of US GDP
It would cause major damage to China's economy if it stopped trading with the US
That is always the issue with these two parties and their econ system. The steps forward are always miserably small, there are always a few steps backward, and US companies profit from death in the meantime
We need to protect American business first...
Something not done in a very long time....
It’s about time🙏
How comprehensive would it be? They could change something small and call it an original.
Imho it should be what a “reasonable person” would expect.
But we could set thresholds for imported BOM like they do for other products. Which could protect against made in USA knockoffs
What do you think ?
Who do you see managing this?
Imported products must be registered at time of import. Products that have not passed review will be held for 30 days to give registered IP holders an opportunity to review. If challenged, the challenge must be reviewed within 30 days of receipt. 1/
This puts the onus on the importer (a company operating in America) and makes it financially a bad idea to do business with knockoffs. 3/3
When a AAA company buys their product from sweat shops and sells it for a premium brand price, it invites the black market. When the margin is 8,000%, it's worth fraudsters' while to find a way around regulations. https://apnews.com/article/counterfeit-handbags-largest-seizure-new-york-f7889a9bcb38c139d2e8efe6d5aa3d26
PS. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
Amazon sellers using it to spy on their competitor's future products
Bad faith infringement challenges
probably better than the way it is now
would cheap Chinese products get more expensive? as a poor, I'm already priced out of a lot of quality products.
Patent system needs to be reworked so changing a screw size or material does not allow it be seen as a new product.
Patent trolls need to stop hurting American innovation
Record keeping will be expensive
Good start
Chinese companies can close and reopen with a new name in an instant making it harder to make them honest.
So much illegal shipping happens every year they will bypass checks
These cost of doing this in their category is far less expensive than contesting for infringement.
A few tweaks needed but possible
I believe I read before that less than 20% of shipping is inspected and that they will be the first step to reducing fake and illegal imports
Since I lost hearing in my right ear one day out of no where just short of 2 yrs ago now. Having to train myself to focus all sound thru one ear still takes alot out of me to this day. I can't begin to tell you how much I took having hearing in both ears for granted. Now i gotta focus just 2 hear

Get fined? How would this be enforced in another country?
Plus the operator would just set up another company anyway.
Make Chinese do partnership agreements with tech transfer they made US companies adhere to.
Hopefully a domestic company can sell it to you.
Or you could buy it from an online site in Hong Kong, and import it for your use, paying whatever required duties and fees.
And if I get it from a freight forwarder in Hong Kong, (a) that's still China (no, really, it is) and (b) AliExpress sees a niche.
Protect American innovation from all copyists.
Simpler solution, create a database and require importers to post the product with specs and pictures, 30 days before importation, to let US / other IP interests protect themselves.

The key is to catch it before any sales are made AND to make it a source of government revenue
But I don't think the penalties are likely to be a major revenue source. We would need to fund the ramp-up in ITC judges to process the infringement claims.
More to your point, China will just find a way to add enough finishing touches to the product in Vietnam or Thailand to make it a "different" product.

With 3D printing and the like, it's very quick to deploy new products. But their sales volume might be small.
This could work but you’ll face a lot of problems.
1st: how would I as a patent holder in the US know if some random Chinese company is copying me? I don’t think I have time to check a government website all day. This needs to be automated somehow.
3rd I think we should make retailers more liable for this. They’ll continue to claim ignorance and take small fines. They should be held liable for infringement as well
Stop buying cheap knockoffs. Fix things instead of replacing them. Raise your kids to appreciate quality and support innovation.
You can’t magically regulate thieves out of existence.
But now? Overpriced essentials, junk products, and inflated Prime costs. The middle class is struggling.
I am still buying books for the rest brick and mortar.
That's the legal basis for IP, not what americans care about.
Personally, it’s not a market I’d like to support at all. So just a call out
said from a deep guttural growl.
I really like the idea of forcing companies to register and disclose what they're selling otherwise.
I wish that those in governance would test more often and implement plans when they work.
The goal is to create better markets for internally produced products, while curbing the theft of copyright/patent infringement.
Problem solved?
You want to sell in the US? The you need to set up US production, in partnership with a US-based entity that is majority US owned.
It lets the market do its thing, while ensuring Americans get the capital benefits and Americans get jobs.
First fix American misuse of DMCA, DMA, content protection infringing on fair use and right to repair.
Have them provide funds in eschew, make them pay for legal counsel. You are no better than any other oligarch
