Clay Clark talked about and gives examples of several businesses where as soon as a product has hit the market, then other companies in China began immediately knocking it off. The reason why is because there are different ways that you can sidestep copyrights and trademarks. That is why you must rush a product to market as fast as possible and build momentum quickly. You must focus on the branding of your product or service. That means you must have a world-class website, world-class packaging, world-class customer experience, and anything that the customer interact with must be world-class.
