GooPhone is a manufacturer of smartphones, tablets and smart watches based in Shenzhen, China. The company earned notoriety for releasing counterfeit clones of popular high-end smartphones such as the iPhone[1] and Samsung's Galaxy S series[2][3][4] using off the shelf system-on-chips from MediaTek[5] and the Android operating system, often with user interfaces made to resemble the devices they imitate.[6]
Patent rights controversy
In 2012, Goophone was reported to have filed a patent application for the Goophone i5, a clone of Apple's iPhone 5, prior to the latter device's release.[7] The company even went so far as to threatening legal action against Apple.[7][8] Law professor Robin Feldman at UC Hastings expressed concern over China's patent policy to which he stated that it "allows this type of behavior" in an email interview.[7]
