(Only) the Koziol original is robust, 100% recyclable and made in Germany. After SHEIN (Plagiarius 2022), countless dealers of cheap 1:1 copies of the award-winning Koziol reusable cutlery are now also allowed to set up shop on TEMU, ALIBABA and FRUUGO and offer their inferior plagiarisms at knock-down prices. Although the offers are removed after reference is made to the EU-wide design protection for the cutlery, they are not actively and automatically prevented, despite knowledge of the property rights. It would be easy: all retailers use the same advertising texts and photos. It's like "Groundhog Day" - a recurring annoyance. The major platform operators generously let Chinese suppliers get away with violations of general terms and conditions and fair trade, while neglecting their responsibility towards Western manufacturers and retailers. Theoretical promises and practice are still far apart.
