It isn't a question if they can copy it or not but how soon the original creators sue and extract royalties.

Go read some patent law before you start running your fucking mouth. As long as they can say they improved the product then the patent wont apply.
Simply making the mouth opening slightly larger so that spoons fit easier could count as an "improvement" and now his patent means jack shit.
Now if he has patented the actual formula for the foam that changes densities then he may have more ground to stand on.
All of this is mostly for nothing because the thing has received quite a few shitty reviews on QVC and most likely performs about as well as all of the other as-seen-on tv shit.
heres a recent case for you to read:

It's a part of the game. He's the innovator, if he came up with it once, I'm sure he can find ways to improve it and come up with newer versions or similar products. When you say, "too bad it will be knocked off" you make it sound like it's the end of the world, or maybe they should just give up. He'll have to continue to innovate and stay one step ahead and then he can keep selling the new versions, while people are buying the out-dated knock offs.
Its a fucking scrub sponge that is already more expensive than anything else on the shelf at the grocery store. I dont think there is a whole lot more innovation to be seen.
He said his cost was something like $2 each or something insane like that. The problem is he may have a newer better sponge but if I can buy one almost as good for 1/10th of the cost which do you think I am going to pickup off the shelf.
Running my fucking mouth?
Pardon me, tough guy.
One would assume he's patented the "changing foam shit" and not the design of a smiley face, and if someone made "the same changing foam shit" then that would violate the patent.
Sorry to have upset you earlier, clearly this is a subject you're quite passionate about. I, on the otherhand, don't care one way or the other. Just shooting the shit.
This product isn't marketed for you. Do you shop on QVC and buy products on infomercials? I hope not.
Just because you wouldn't buy it doesn't mean its a product that no one else will.
It amazes me that its so hard for some people on here to think outside their own limited view of the world.
P.S. While China is busying "copying" his product, he is already selling millions.
If you watch the clip he says he needs the money to build an automated system so he can put the thing in thousands of retail stores. Not sure but I think that makes me his intended market!
Hows that assumption working for you now?
He claims to be the exclusive distributor for the foam shit but whats to stop the company from selling it to someone else.
Yeah you're right. And what's to stop some guy in China making a sponge with a bigger smiley mouth for washing spoons?
And like you said, it's a $2 sponge that is already more expensive than anything else on the shelf at the grocery store. I can't see it shifting even one unit.
If he can't keep "innovating" or at least make customized sponges then of fucking course he'd dump it onto someone else AFTER he's milked the shit out of it.
Even if's $2 or whatever it's got a lot of great selling points to it that'll at least make people go fuck it, I'll buy it, it looks fun and cleaning isn't fun, so I'll make it fun.
You would sound more intelligent if you kept your mouth shut. He has a utility patent, not a design patent. Do you know the difference?
Aside from that, can we redbrick this faggot already?
