Message	If the company was a large one like IBM or Intel, the smaller company making the knockoffs would be shut down quickly. That's because those companies have legal departments whose task it is to protect their intellectual property. The design of a product is intellectual property. These smaller companies who innovate simple don't have the resources or legal experience to go after the scores of knockoff companies.
