Chinese folk steals off-centered umbrella idea

Off-center umbrella patent was filed in US in 1995. http://www.google.com/patents/US5505221

The same product already in the Japanese market several years ago.

A Chinese folk copied the idea and shamelessly claimed the idea is original in a CCTV program. He got RMB 18 million investment fund from two investment companies through copycat.
