Memo to Samsung (005930): Now this is how you get away with copying Apple (AAPL)! GizChina reports that a Chinese manufacturer has used leaked photos of Apple’s next-generation iPhone to slap together a quick knockoff of the device called the Goophone I5 and release it before Apple has a chance to launch the genuine article later this month. What’s more, the company has actually patented the knockoff design in China and is poised to sue Apple if it launches the next-generation iPhone in China later this year. For any Chinese readers who are interested in buying a not-quite-iPhone, GizChina says that the Goophone will feature “a Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core 1.4Ghz CPU, 1GB RAM, Android 4.0 ICS with an iOS 6 theme, 8 megapixel rear camera and a 4-inch screen with an impressive retina display resolution of 1280 x 720.”

That's....awesome. And it's china so it might actually work.

That's pretty stupid, but I wouldn't put it past China to actually protect this company.

everything except the back is already covered and breaking Apple's existing design patents so they're off to a pretty bad start.

Maybe not in China.

I don't think they use the leaked image. They actually may even have the blue print of iPhone5 ...

haha I hope it works and China gets the £1b that Apple got from Samsung

Man, good thing that there were subtitles. She tried so hard, but failed even harder.
It was painful to listen to. Had to mute it down

[MDboyz]

In China, it's not when you apply the patents. It's all about who release the products first ...

have to hand it to them - and steve jobs was amazed, too, when he was searching for scratch-proof glass for the original iphone - they are speedy.
