Shanzhai in China refers to Chinese imitation and pirated brands and goods. There are different types of Shanzhai, including copy, parody, and new brands. Parody, in particular, is a work created to mock, comment on, or poke fun at an original work by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation. Shanzhai culture in China has led to innovation through copying existing products and business models, improving them, and developing new markets through rapid customization and response to customer needs. While imitation and copying initially occurred, over time true innovation developed, as seen in the cellular phone industry through companies like MediaTek that pioneered new technologies and business models.
4. What is ParodyA parody (pronounced /?p?r?di?/; also called send-up or spoof), in contemporary usage, is a work created to mock, comment on, or poke fun at an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation. It is known as Shanzhai in China4
10. What is ShanzhaiShanzhai (simplified?Chinese: ɽկ;?pinyin: sh¨¡nzh¨¤i) refers to Chinese imitation and pirated brands and goods, particularly electronics. Literally "mountain village" or "mountain stronghold", the term refers to the mountain stockades of warlords or thieves, far away from official control. "Shanzhai" can also be stretched to refer to people who are lookalikes, low-quality or improved goods, as well as things done in parody.10

42. Intellectual MonopolyStory of Watt1768, Watt ¡®repaired¡¯ Newcomen engines ¡®with substantial borrowing¡¯ and applied for a patentNothing much happened then42
43. Intellectual MonopolyStory of Watt1775, patent almost expiredIndustrialist Matthew Boulton with good relationship with the parliament supported him.The patent was extended until 1800Watt spent more time engaged in legal action to establish and preserve his monopoly than he did in the actual improvement and production of his engine.43
44. Intellectual MonopolyStory of Watt1790, the superior Hornblower engine was in production, Boulton and Watt went after him with the full force of the legal system.Many new improvements to the steam engine became available by 1804, butthese innovations were kept idle until the Boulton and Watt patent expired44
45. Intellectual MonopolyStory of WattAn important limitation of the original Newcomen engine could be fixed by a method patented by James Pickard, which prevented Watt from using it. The existence of a patent forced Watt to contrive an alternative less efficient mechanical device to fixed the problem. 45
46. Intellectual MonopolyStory of WattIt was only in 1794, after the expiration of Pickard¡¯s patent that Boulton and Watt adopted the economically and technically superior device to fix the problem.46
47. Intellectual MonopolyStory of Watt ¨C without patentWhen the patents expired many establishments for making steam-engines of Watt's principle were then commenced.However, Watt¡¯s competitors principally aimed at cheapness rather than excellence. 47
48. Intellectual MonopolyStory of Watt ¨C without patentAs a result, far from being driven out of business, Boulton and Watt for many years afterwards kept up their price and had increased orders.48
49. Intellectual MonopolyStory of Watt ¨C without patentAfter getting one step ahead, Watt remained ahead not by superior innovation, but by superior exploitation of the legal system. The fact that his business partner Boulton was a wealthy man with strong connections in parliament, was not a minor help.49
50. Why Hornblower Is Superior?It was a substantial improvement over Watt¡¯s It introduced the new concept of the ¡°compound engine¡± with more than one cylinder.This was the basis for further steam engine development after Watt¡¯s patents expired.50
51. Why Hornblower Is Superior?Hornblower built on the earlier work of Watt, making use of his ¡°separate condenser.¡± The monopoly over the ¡°separate condenser,¡± blocked the development of ¡°compound engine,¡± Retarding economic growth.51
52. Intellectual MonopolyStory of WattDuring Watt¡¯s patents, the UK added about 750 horsepower of steam engines per yearIn the thirty years following Watt¡¯s patents, additional horsepower was added at arate of more than 4,000 per year. 52
53. Intellectual MonopolyStory of WattThe fuel efficiency of steam engines changed little during the period of Watt¡¯s patent;while between 1810 and 1835 it is estimated to have increased by afactor of five.53
54. Jerome Lemelson1923 ¨C 1997Over 600 patents ¨C used as submarine patentsWorth US$1.3BSo, how did he do?54
56. Jerome Lemelson¡¯s StrategiesContinuation applicationsa patent application filed by an applicant who wants to pursue additional claims to an invention disclosed in an earlier application of the applicant (the "parent" application) that has not yet been issued or abandoned.This type of application is useful when a patent examiner has allowed some but rejected other claims in an application, or where an applicant may not have exhausted all useful ways of claiming different embodiments of the invention.56
57. Results of Jerome Lemelson¡¯s StrategiesLemelson¡¯s patents occupied the top thirteen positions for the longest prosecutions from 1914 to 2001.Served as ¡°Submarines¡±In 2004, his estate was defeated in Symbol and Cognex case ¨C plaintiff sought (and received) a ruling that 76 claims under Lemelson's machine vision patents were unenforceable.57
