From article:

GizChina reports that a Chinese manufacturer has used leaked photos of Apple’s next-generation iPhone to slap together a quick knockoff of the device called the Goophone I5 and release it before Apple has a chance to launch the genuine article later this month. What’s more, the company has actually patented the knockoff design in China and is poised to sue Apple if it launches the next-generation iPhone in China later this year. For any Chinese readers who are interested in buying a not-quite-iPhone, GizChina says that the Goophone will feature “a Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core 1.4Ghz CPU, 1GB RAM, Android 4.0 ICS with an iOS 6 theme, 8 megapixel rear camera and a 4-inch screen with an impressive retina display resolution of 1280 x 720.”

iPhone 5 design copied, patented: Goophone i5 Chinese iPhone clone

With how shady china is this might actually hold up for them in court,

Thoughts?
 


These Chinese work FAST... That's a serious hustle, and Balls.

Think of the balls it takes to say, Oh Apple's coming out with their new Iphone? How about we copy and paste that shit BEFORE it comes out, and then put a patent on that bitch, so they can't even come out with their own product.

Used to be in my day, counterfeiting things, would take years, then months after they came out. Now these dudes are copying shit and PATENTING it before it comes out... wtf. WOW.

How hard is it to copy Apples look? Take a rectangle add some fucking rounded corners. Wow!
 
There is only but one proper response for Apple at this time:

<palpatine>Wipe them out, all of them.</palpatine>

When dealing with this kind of money, what's a few assassins between countries?
 
Pretty soon I see the times when tabs and phones will be ONLY sold in their manufacturing country.

Day by day moral is getting down in this entire world.
 
How is this any more shady than all of apple's other patents?

Patents are evil.
