you have not provided enough info for anybody to help you

Patents are territorial in nature. That is why applicants apply for patents in every country they intend to exploit their patent. That is also part of why inventions are surrounded with so much secrecy. So that someone does not go and implement the invention in a country where you are yet to apply for a patent. You cannot apply for a patent in Nigeria and expect it to be protected in South Africa for instance. Except there is an express treaty to that effect. there are two limitations to the patent

1. if the Chinese company applies for a patent in Nigeria before he does.
2. the product has already been put on display and our law requires that you apply for your patent before exhibiting the product. except the exhibition was for educational purposes only.

Alternatively the invention may not even qualify for a patent in terms of novelty. Although no one in Nigeria is going to check its novelty, you may run into problems when you try to exploit other markets.

Intellectual property procedure is a bit more complex than most people think. we tend to oversimplify, trade marks, Patents Designs and copyright.

wirinet:
You provided little details on the machine you are talking about, so it is impossible to comment on the practicality or feasibility of the project. There are many highly technical people here on nairaland that can give useful advice if you are more forth coming.

Now to your questions;
1. It is a bit tricky. If the machine has been patented, then you will be violating international patent laws, but I would not say it is a crime. I do not know of any country that criminalize or even punish international patent violations. Asian countries, especially China depends on violating international patent and intellectual property rights to drive it's economy.

2. You cannot patent it, since the machine was copied and not designed by you. The original designers of the machine ( most probably Europeans or Americans) would have already patented it. The Chinese most probably cloned the original of the machine with cheaper materials as usual.

Why not make the machine and test it first.

Does anyone have an Idea what the working conditions are like at CIG motors. I am scheduled for an interview today

I recommend English Lessons and Manual reset (beta slap). after both am sure the solution will be clear.

Abstinence is best but if your must, then use protection.

Show a lawyer and also politely ask for whatever details you would like to know. person wey ask no dey miss road.......(most times)

Bruv!!! U really need to come to Nigeria so you can learn the fine art of " WAKA PASS". (Just in case you dont understand, its not an insult , ask any Nigerian)

patches689:
Zimbabwe is a sovereign state - we have no right to interfere in their internal affairs. If they request assistance they shall receive it.

If you werent such an ignoramus you would be well aware that South Africa has effected great change in Zimbabwe over the past (Who is Thabo Mbeki? What is back-room diplomacy? Who are the MDC?)

Augustine, you need to realize that your childlike ramblings have no place in this thread - even other Nigerians are starting to call you out on your bullsh1t. Go back to beegeagles blog - people seem to like your grandiose fantasies there.
