It's cute that you think a counterfeit manufacturer gives a damn about US law.

If they're designing potentially unsafe equipment, I promise you that trademark law wouldn't warrant a first thought, let alone a second.

I'm actually thinking about the reseller and where the customer stand.

And I'd appreciate if you leave out the condescending tone.

Why is it the customer's and reseller's responsibility to determine if a manufacturer has properly licensed some patent/trademark/etc.?

If I buy something and I find the quality poor, I should have made a better purchasing choice.

If I buy something and I find out it was illegally on the market place then I can complain to the seller and get my money back (in theory)
