LG has issued stern warnings to Hong Kong retailers ordering them not to stock Chinese knockoffs of their Shine handset. According to reports, stores have complied, making this an interesting pre-emptive strike against the copycats.
While in this case it's clear that the targeted handsets are clones, imagine if we got to the point where patent trolls were able to simply order retailers, on pain of lawsuit, not to stock their competitors' products? And without so much as an ITC or Federal District Court filing.
Nah. Couldn't happen here.
