" Chonda " engines cloneing and copyright .

[Stubby]

I have a new Loncin 9hp engine on my hydraulic splitter . Seems good so far . It is , as they all are , a blatant copy of a Honda GX 270 . What I find amusing is that Loncin are up in arms over other Chinese manufacturers " cloning " their Loncin engine and selling it as such . You couldn't make it up !

Everyone is selfishly possessive in the modern world.

Didn't a father and son from china have a legal case against them a few years ago for copying Honda engines.

 

Has the patent expired now on the gx?
