News today that the Dyson bladeless fan is getting imitated by Chinese manufacturers. Of course it has novel ideas in it and is covered by patents. Dyson is the one test case I can think of where patent law actually worked to proted the, at the time, "small guy" from imitation from big manufacturers.
Still I cannot see him winning this case, China probably has less respect for patents than most. But it does at least give an interesting case, of probably valid novel ideas being copied by competitors.
