There's so much counterfeit stuff on these Chinese app stores. Pokemon. Magic the gathering. I was so heartbroken to even find niche board games on there!
Is it counterfeit or "factory repeats" i.e. "the gucci bag order is 1000. What if we run the belt for 2000, and then sell the leftover 1000 for 1/2 price, roughly 100x their actual cost, later?"
Lots of counterfeits are fakes, especially the really cheap version of something, but there are a surprising amount of "unauthorized" copies of things that are indistinguishable from the original.
Feel ripped off! One says made in china and the other says made in china
Well, one goes into the pockets of the original inventors who may also have testing/quality control, and one goes into the pockets of some rich dude creating counterfeits that may have extremely questionable quality control.
Ideally and theoretically, yes.
In reality.. there's no quality control, and if the inventor is clever, he'd be selling the counterfeits himself, for the sole purpose of stopping the scavengers from getting that piece of the revenue.
Alibaba based its motion to dismiss on how it was named in the lawsuit as Alibaba.com instead of its formal corporate name.

Lmao squishmallow (fake)
