Patent and copyright trolls are everywhere. If this gets out of hand i'd copyright the word China and "Made in China" and then refuse all products from the country temporarily.

I went down to the Agency that deals with matchmaking universities with patents to businesses that have some synergy. There is databases full of patents that aren't getting pushed by anyone.
