minus-squaretshungwee@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoHonestly, international patents are not recognized in China! You need a Chinese patent! Which fortunately are relatively cheap and fairly easy to do! Another thing you could do is get a NNN done and notarized, I do that all the time! And most of the vendors on alibaba are trading companies so you need to ensure your NNN is valid for this use! Hope that helps!
minus-squareBakGikHung@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoNone of this matters unless you have the legal firepower to defend your patents.
minus-squaretshungwee@alien.topBlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoNNN (non-disclosure, non-use, and non-circumvention)
minus-squaretshungwee@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoNote NNN needs to be in Chinese (if you include any other languages you need that officially translated and notarized). It needs to be notarized in the city/province of the vendor properly stamped and signed by the other party. You don’t have to be personally there but you need to be represented ~ it can be personal to you or your company! Hope this is helpful!
