Should I tell Alibaba manufacturers I have a patent for my product so they won't easily steal my idea? (alien.top)

Honestly, international patents are not recognized in China!

You need a Chinese patent! Which fortunately are relatively cheap and fairly easy to do!

Another thing you could do is get a NNN done and notarized, I do that all the time!

And most of the vendors on alibaba are trading companies so you need to ensure your NNN is valid for this use!

Hope that helps!

None of this matters unless you have the legal firepower to defend your patents.

NNN (non-disclosure, non-use, and non-circumvention)

[–] tshungwee@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Note NNN needs to be in Chinese (if you include any other languages you need that officially translated and notarized).

It needs to be notarized in the city/province of the vendor properly stamped and signed by the other party.

You don’t have to be personally there but you need to be represented ~ it can be personal to you or your company!

Hope this is helpful!
