Is it Legal or Illegal to sell Chinese Cell phone Copies? Like BlackPerry, Hi-Phone, Mansung Talaxy X?
I found a company in China that makes these phones and accesories. My Question is, would it be LEGAL or ILLEGAL to sell them in the US? This phones are GSM Capable for like 2 or 3 Sim Cards. They have TV, WiFi, Etc. ANYONE? LEGAL? NOT LEGAL.
I ask this because every where I go (except for Brand Retailers) I see Made-in-China Items, Copies, like MP3 Players that have the form of the Ipod Classic. If you go to Dollar Trees or 99 Cents Stores you will se nothing but Chinese Crap. Instead of Cocoa Pebbles, you see Mocoa Prebbles, instea dof Post Aid, you see Basic. And I can give you a lot of different examples like shoes that say Nucci, Mike, Air 10, Fat Pharm with a Cow instead of a Rino.
How is this different?
It's legal until the original company ask you to get rid of all that ****.
As long as you state VERY CLEARLY that these are clones, NOT original, you should be okay (i.e. you can't be sued for mis-representing the stuff).
You may get a "cease and desist" letter (i.e. "stop what you're doing now or we sue you!" letter) but usually you don't get this unless you sell a lot of the ****. 
NOTE: I'm not a lawyer, so what I say probably doesn't count.
