The aforementioned manufacturer used a flood of traffic since day 1 of their launch to take over taobao search rankings, and since then both hcxqs and the "black gold" clone suddenly saw their sales on taobao go to near zero. The "black gold" clone were playing completely fair and slowly gained sales because of the superiority of their product, and we never had an issue with them. However, recently there has been anti-competitive behavior from one clone manufacturer that I won't name, and it involves manipulating rankings on platforms like taobao using fake orders and reviews, as well as dumping devices at close to cost. I like to see variants like the 3.2 inch "black gold" clone, and even recommend them when people ask me where to get a S-A-A-2 with metal enclosure.
So far the vast majority of clone manufacturers are playing completely fair and we are fine with them selling S-A-A-2 devices. We released the design as open source and do not take any royalties. In fact, we encourage making variants of the S-A-A-2 design, or even verbatim clones, as long as basic business ethics are observed. On behalf of the S-A-A-2 design team I'm writing this to clear up confusion around our stance towards clones.įirstly, we do not have a problem with clones.
