For posterity, here's Lost Lei's response to one concerned bystander that pointed out that maybe, just maybe, their "ceramic cup" designs were perhaps a bit too similar to those used at 3 Dots:

"Ripoff? okay, first of all, the original sculptor of these ceramic drink cups is based in China and is not Darik Maasen who is from the USA. The Lost Lei uses the same company that almost every entity uses to produce 95% of all ceramic cups in the world. Every year, (for our trade secret purpose) this Chinese company produces 500 million mugs for companies like McDonalds, Edible Arrangements, Wal-Mart, Microsoft, etc. Anyone can go to China and hire the same company. Secondly, the design, composition, size, glazing process and details are different! No trademark is infringed upon. Last but not least, we have impeccable evidence showing the stages of our sculpting and molding process made by this Chinese artist. Sorry, but Darick Maasen is not the original sculptor nor is he the creator of Wonder Woman or Darth Vader. Please direct all your inquiries to "

Yeah. This will end well...
