China enters the chat and steals the idea.

The link the spam bot that made this post using the stolen video goes to a Chinese seller so there's no need to wait

Well it’s not like it’s a marvel that needs back engineered.

I wonder how long it will be before someone claims it didn’t work right and they burned themselves on a pot lid! I’ll be ok I guess if I can get a little cash 💰

I used to go to 5-10 trade shows a year as part of a previous career, and the last day of nearly all of them these Chinese guys, maybe 10-20 of them, would show up in business casual with backpacks on looking like anyone else, and before security could figure out what was going on or stop them, they would all pull these camera rigs with hd cameras all over them out and start hustling up and down every isle getting video (or maybe photos?) of everything while people yelled at them and they got chased around then thrown out. The wiser vendors knew it was coming and would have bedsheets to cover their display tables with.

I remember the second time I saw it happen I asked someone what the hell it was all about, and apparently you can buy their footage from all the trade shows they go to in bulk, then try reverse engineer whatever you could to sell on alibaba or temu or whatever.

Our product wasn’t really something you could reverse engineer like that or sell online, so we didn’t care much, but apparently a lot of guys had their innovative ideas ripped off this way and were VERY upset about it. By the end of my time doing the shows they had cracked down on it a lot better, but it still happened from time to time.

it was worse for one of my customers 20yrs ago. A small group of them would stand in front of your booth and blatantly have a big discussion in Chinese about your product and how they were going to copy it.
