"Hi, Dan Black here from from black+blum We have had lots of products copied and then listed on aliexpress and alibaba. The worst copy was for our Polar Bear Ice Tray. See http://blackblum.com/collections/originals/products/brrr-ice-tray It was first listed on alibaba.com. We contacted alibaba and were able to get their help removing it, but having just checked now I can see there are several copies back up there http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/New-Product-Polar-Bear-Shape-With_60345329014.html?spm=a2700.7724838.30.95.2850ch . I just checked aliexpress and there are lots of copies listed http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20160129061651&SearchText=polar+bear+ice+tray I guess it is a constant battle. Our designs are protected in the EU and US, so if we come across copies in these markets, we can enforce legal action. We can keep working with alibaba and aliexpress to remove copies (to be fair, they were very good and quick last time), but it is very hard to take the legal fight to the actual people who do the copying and listing. The one thing that angers me, is that they use our photography! In most of the listed images, it's my photoshopped hand holding the polar bear!The worst copy I saw was when a company copied Grovemade's products, but also their entire website! It was built on shopify (the same platform Grovemade use), but thankfully shopify pulled it when they learnt it was a copy. It is too expensive to take legal action with everything, especially when the perpetrators are in another country But you can take legal action against the retailers who buy the copies (plus spread the word on these people who support this rip off market). You also just need to keep on innovating..."
