Picking the right manufacturer in China can be a real headache. While it's only worth the paper it's written on, stating directly in your agreement with the factory that they must destroy any rejected finished products and that they will manufature a given design for you exclusively is a step in the right direction. Also, Tipsy is correct about getting U.S. Customs to block importation of copyrighted designs... and if a Chinese factory can't sell in the U.S., they won't bother to make it. -Z
