Maybe the best and possibly only real protection is to make your (whatever it is) the best quality and value and then everyone will buy your stuff anyway.
We will all be screwed soon when the Chinese start on the GT40 market. Anyone for a "Shining Road GT40".
Or am I just unrealistic and cynical??

Yes you are mate, they're only set up to produce 30,000,000 + runs 
Not sure if the market would stand the over supply, still, at £5 - 3s - 2d each, even I could afford one.
Good name though, Shining Road
Or perhaps; 'Brilliant Ming GT40'
(PS, thanks to Simon, I would never have found this. Ever vigilant!)

No, you're exactly right. In a few years we'll be arguing about whether the Rong Fu version from Taiwan is better than the Harbor Freight GT40 from the mainland.

If this was the case, then there would only be one GT40 replica company so this is clearly not the issue. Whether you make the best or not, the point is another vendor should not be copying how Tornado build it unless Tornado themself said they can. So the problem here is that the effort and research produced by Tornado to achieve what they have was just ripped off and copied.... *just take the guys car, put it in your shop and copy the whole lot... thanks for all your research and build design Tornado... goodbye*. That is total Bogus. You cant just go and produce something to live off someone elses efforts and achievements. Even IF on a business level it was ok (which it seems like it is not), it is not ethically correct to do it. It would be totaly different had the other party called up Tornado, asked if they could borrow the material as it is written out well etc, and then had Tornado said "sure no problem" (in writing since these days anyone can say anything), the second party would then in there own copied material have referenced Tornado's name on it so that people know it is just a copy of "Tornado" thus the credit is given back where it is due and thus it is clear that it is borrowed material. Like this, it is just trying to pass something off as your own which it is not. Plagiarism issues. So the point here is lack of ethics and business professionalism.

Hi
I would be grateful if someone could point out to me where, in the companies act or general business practises, there is a section on ethics.

The US equivalent was first written by two brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.
