Congrats on successfully getting the government to step in!
Depending on the nature of your product and your supply chain, you could try to only flash the firmware once the finished products arrive in America (assuming the packaging isn't sealed yet). And do your best to make it hard to completely dump the firmware (maybe make part of it encrypted with a key that's in a one-time programmable memory that can't be read except by the decrypter, if one of your chips has this feature).

- dangero 13y agoI don't know exactly because I wasn't involved in that side. The general thing I realized is that it's in the Chinese government's best interest to make sure large scale counterfeit operations are stopped. When looking for a factory you now have options beyond China, so if fakes in China marginalize your business, you're just going to move your manufacturing elsewhere.
