help me out /biz/

My google-fu is failing on me, so I come to you with a question:

is it legal to import unbranded copies of items (for example LG headsets are rampant on ebay, tons of them are listed without the LG name or logo anywhere on the item or the listing, obviously fakes.

I read about it years ago but I can't fully recall the answers. I want to say its legal as long as its not using copyrighted materials from companies

answers?

it's definitely not legal if you sell it as LG if you sell it as unbranded chink copy of LG then it is completely legal.
>>
>>1537400
even though its an exact replica and potentially using stuff LG has copyrighted?
>>
>>1537404
that's not your problem but the manufacturers.
you can't deceive your customers that's all if they know what they are buying then the manufacturer is to blame for any infringement.

i dont intend to try and pass anything off as a licensed product, but I assume theres copyright and patent laws that make it illegal to even produce things that use said copyright/patents

like those LG headsets i mentioned, the ones that are the -exact same-, but dont have the LG logo - thats legal? srsly?

can we back that up with some references? I'd like to take more than an anonymous strangers word on it before I do something that can put me in jail if wrong, lol

Go read up on patent and trademark laws then nigga. No ones trying to be your unpaid paralegal
>>
>>1538757
if iw as any good at finding exact laws i would have done so already, thats why ive asked.

for some reason my google-fu has failed e in figuring this out, as i already stated in OP
>>
>>1538786
The only thing you would have to fear is getting sued by LG, and Do you really fucking think massive lg is going to give a fuck about a dude selling a few of their products? No its litterally not worth their time and they figure the shit quality will take care of the problem itself.
>>
>>1539325
actually yes, lawsuits like that occur all the time, is why im asking.
>>
>I can't figure this out on my own! Can someone answer this?
>yea sure here's your answer
>LOL like I'm gonna take some anonymous strangers opinion!
Eat a fat dick op
>>

requesting sources for assurance is a common practice...

are you retarded or just autistic?
>>
>>1540687
I agree with other guy, show some proof of these said lawsuits
