That is a classic example of exception proving the rule.

The Chinese win if they only have to pay pennies:

> The three companies owe a combined $1.5 million to New Balance. But while that sum may not seem like much, it’s more than American companies usually get.

Pennies on the dollar, Chinese win.

Ps. First link didn't receive damages and only partial win? 2nd link is better, but I'm sure copying Lego in China earned a lot more. So, still pennies om the dollar.

These articles you linked really don't proof a thing, just that some companies pay a minor fine. I'm suprised no one else sees this..
