I'm not wrong. We have specific UK legislation, which I quoted - and it is quite clear if you mislead a customer for example in the case of where an item is produced that this is a criminal breach of UK law. The example of "Sheffield Steel" being marked on an item, a customer might reasonably expect that to be made in Sheffield, England. To name a place in China "Sheffield" and sell metal goods in the UK marked up as "Sheffield Steel" is quite clearly a breach of the CPR 2008 regulations. We don't need to refer to Europe, we have (relatively new) UK law and whoever it is that is selling it in the UK can be taken to court by their local authority trading standards department and be charged.
But what is a local county court jundge due to company in a mega city in China.
Nothing is the answer.
You only gotta look at Patent law - so where it will go!
