Not sure I understand the downvoting here but fine. perhaps clarifying my question would help.
Today:
Brand 1 makes product and sells on Amazon. Files IP to try and prevent others from copying their idea.
Brand 2 (Chinese company) makes similar product and sells through amazon - results in headlines like - Amazon has a Chinese problem.
Brand 3 (Amazon Basics) - makes similar products and has Chinese supplier add logo to their generic product. Even though brand 1 has the same problem (arguably worse), because Amazon does it instead of a Chinese company it is seen as less problematic.
- detaro 10y agoAre there Amazon Basics products where IP is an issue? I only know them from USB chargers, cables, rechargeable batteries, …, stuff where there is little innovation.
