Bro my dad used to make phone cases in the 2000's and early 2010's. Sold them on EBay, but then some Chinese company started stealing his ads and selling them for cheaper (they could afford the materials a lot cheaper) and just completely threw him out of business there. He was making good money too. I was too young to understand at the time but now I'm frustrated at the thought
He's not suing, not because he doesn't want to. It's because he can't sue them the laws for copyright and patents in China are very different from those of the US
More plastic junk that ruined our ecosystems. Yeah, I'm sure they will really love reading about this time period and all the problems they get to have thanks to us.
Slight difference between having an idea and actually building it. Also a bit different when the company is literally using his video and images to advertise it. He obviously doesn’t really care but it’s hilarious that people are in here acting like China doesn’t blatantly steal IP constantly.
If the turn black and fall off they are too cold but if they turn orange then black and fall off they are too hot. I would be a good biology biologist.

You should try making your own company and selling most of your inventions I would buy a lot of themAren't really unnecessary but things that solve real problems that I deal with day-to-day I know I would buy a lot of them
That was actually called "cool a cop" years ago. My security job was looking to keep us cool during the summer. Some police departments used a similar, but heavy duty setup. Routes from the vent, tucks underneath body armor.
A letter saying you've reached out to the local Triad and put out a bounty will get you better results than threatening a Chinese citizen with the American legal system.
That won't work china fakes and copies *EVERYTHING* even jordans to they won when MJ tried to sue..... Copy right law isn't a thing in china so basically it's "fair game" sadly. Also, all our goods are from china anyway so their watching and will copy!
Guys he's not angry because he literally can't do anything. Even a giant like Nintendo can't go after bootleg games sold on AliExpress. So if you can't do anything about it, just forget about it. I love his positivity.
But atleast claim legal ownership of your own products even if you decide never to sell. If not there is always the risk of someone else getting a patent for it meaning he himself wouldn't be able to operate as if he made it...even though he did...because lagally he wouldn't own his own invention.
I think it’s absolutely hilarious that some Chinese business executives saw your video and thought to themselves: ‘this is clearly something Americans use, so we must make one’. A bunch of Chinese businesspeople are now sure that Americans have trouble keeping their jewels cool and honestly, I think we should keep at it.
I feel this so hard. I sculpted a "baby yoda" model back when Mandalorian came out. Put it out for free (dumb of me) just so ppl could enjoy it. It's still being sold as a toothpaste topper to this day XD.
It's not humility, he just knows there's no point. The Chinese government don't give a shit, where do you think all the knockoff designer gear comes from? Copyright doesn't really exist as a concept there. Nor does honesty or respect for human life. So there's no point taking them on. That, and he never tries to sell his inventions. They're jokes. His business is CZcams, getting people to watch his silly inventions and be entertained. From that aspect it's entertaining that a Chinese company is marketing his deliberately stupid idea. I wouldn't bother patenting this anyway. Patenting isn't an easy process, it costs money, and is a tube for blowing air down really a novel invention? The whole invention probably would qualify, but would you want to? The economics mean China can sell bizarre nonsense like this, but an American couldn't.
@@SAI_LINGESH Because it doesn’t work like that. If it isn’t a serious criminal charge, most countries aren’t going to extradite one of their citizens because of a civil matter like being sued.

I would be ok with someone ripping me off if I'm not even selling it myself and if they did make a good copy
As he was never going to make them into a sellable product, he's lost nothing. Glad he's having fun reviewing the knock-offs though

Older cars used to just have a vent pointed at your junk from the factory lol
that's literally what inspired his invention, someone was asking if he could re-create the old crotch vents that cars and trucks used to have
I miss that, and those triangle corner windows that direct the air in for when your AC is busted or you don't have none.
I like how he still gave it a fair review despite it being entirely stolen.
He's selling it from the other side and doing free marketing here using china😂😂😂
tbf it works just as well as the original at a lower cost. Its just goofy af
😅 He didnt patent it
To be fair, it's a clip and a flexible tube. There's not much to it anyway 😅
It's probably he's chinese company. He's marketing for himself under the pretext of it not marketing for himself 🙄
"They stole my invention!"

An a/c attachment for your balls
