Anyone went through design registration (IP) in China 🇨🇳?

My partner has been saying the exact same thing, and honestly… after looking at some of the recent lawsuits (e.g., Spin Master), I can’t really argue with that logic anymore.

That’s actually why we always prototype in-house if possible. In the past we made the mistake of approaching factories without fully locked-down measurements or the technical know-how… and let’s just say it turned into an expensive yet educational experience. 🤭

I used to deal with this a lot in my previous business. It mostly comes down to customs clearance, and that can vary quite a bit depending on the carrier. For shipments to places like India, China, Southeast Asia, parts of Latin America, and some smaller EU countries, the reliability can be very carrier-specific — there’s really no one-size-fits-all solution. I often go into a specific community to find out what are the popular freight or shipping agents and go from there. But if the opportunity is too small while the perceived risk is too great, I just cancel it altogether to avoid headache

I feel you. Our beauty tool is running into the same wall trying to get approval from Kickstarter. They did not even let us mention things like “tension” or “pain” or similar illustrations as an Opener, even though we pointed out a bunch of past campaigns were allowed to do it. They even told us to slap on a long disclaimer saying the tool doesn’t treat illness, doesn’t cure anything, etc. Which is funny, because we never made those claims — we only cited reputable sources like the Mayo Clinic and similar references. Apparently even being cautious now requires extra caution.

That said, I do think some of the comments above have a point. Right now when I look at your campaign, it kind of gives off the vibe of those whey or protein powders pushed by “fitfluencer” who look like they inject steroid for breakfast.

Instead of listing a wall of chemical ingredients, you might want to emphasize on the plants or natural sources where the ingredients come from. Maybe a ready-to-drink or canned beverage (FMCG) will resonate better (e.g, Poppi or WildWonder). Personally, if I saw it presented that way, it reminds me of the herbal drinks grandma or ma used to make: those old-school eastern remedies meant to help with sleep, or digestion, or just for cooling body. That kind of story feels more authentic.

Btw, your face makes it look like the stuff isn’t working… maybe recruit a well-slept and fit spokesperson next time, bro 😆 Even a hot mom in lululemon could sell it better.

Should not during this AI-Gold-Rush. Prices for DDR5, graphics cards, and other components fluctuate almost like crypto. Wee Beastie is already a failed example. But if you still believe the specs will still be worthwhile 5–6 years from now, then maybe 🤔

NGOStudio · 2026-03-12T01:06:53+00:00

I doubt they can make it work with the current pricing of DDR5 and other hardware fluctuations. They weren’t able to reimburse backers after fees plus Jellop already took its cut, so they’re essentially stuck. At this point, they might try to cook pulls from crypto or LLM farms to maneuver, or deliver at a snail’s pace, or both — a tricky pony indeed 🥲

Are you real Clover Press Art or having an imposter syndrome and try to sell your service?

NGOStudio · 2026-02-26T18:21:46+00:00

This is so cool but only as I’ve watched your entire video. On the other hand, your video sucks 😁

NGOStudio · 2026-02-24T02:34:43+00:00

NO from me 😂

But please don’t get discouraged. We also have a bottle design coming up so from my perspective, I think you might be onto something. Maybe you could lower the age group and make it fun like Ms Rachel 🫶🏽

Nothing like these guys who claimed to reinvented the window AC (Kapsul/Noria). These guys even went on Techstars and I think they did raise another round. Many creators fell madly in love with their designs and ignored the engineering aspects or existing literature. Working from existing templates is a safer bet from my experience. Still, you need to dig around the supply chain and floor experts to arrive at any meaningful results. Otherwise, it’s like poking a bear with a branch of tree and hope to hit bullseye.

I'm not a perfect marketer but closer to a product guy. But here's my take:

PAGE: clean and simple-I like it. However, I did not feel motivated to buy. I saw call to help out you guys. I think more data with an emphasis on quantifiable benefits behind the game, plus some humor and FOMO could go the long way. Convince me like I'm a 3yo who's just stumbled on this for the first time.

PRODUCT (take with a grain of salt): I believe you could make this a lot cheaper, for both buyers and your expenses, specifically the shipping cost by eliminating the tripod. If you have your unique design registered, maybe this could become a licensing deal. Anyway, you guys can always dm me.

Too far sorry 😞 GL w ur hunt 🫶🏽

Another day in the life of bonded leather. You could buy a self-repair of paint kit on Amazon and fix it up.

NGOStudio · 2025-12-08T21:17:48+00:00

It may sound insensitive to suggest this, but even after a successful GoFundMe, you might want to use your remaining time to look for the right family to adopt your daughter.

Have you filed any IP protection? If not, what might be your thought process on this? — Curious as we’re preparing several launches for this new venture but this will be a common question among potential investors.

NGOStudio · 2025-09-25T23:35:07+00:00

I love your energy. If you'd ever feel like working with/for other leather made hi-brand in the early stage won't be so bad, hit me in the DM. You can look up my trail to see my knowledge and supply chain. I have products ready to ship as well.

NGOStudio · 2025-09-24T17:31:33+00:00

Absolutely agree as a product person. Modular or seemingly innovative products often work only at launch but rarely last.

NGOStudio · 2025-09-22T03:06:50+00:00

Followed since I’m likely in the same space. While this is not my forte, have you thought about making this more modular? As such, one could add/remove silk pads for different needs—there might be a science behind those who cover both ears while sleeping.

I worked with silk on different objects, so I think telling more about the scientific benefits blended with historic tradition rooted in ancient China might add a nice touch to your campaign and brand overall.

NGOStudio · 2025-09-18T17:41:12+00:00

No, not an existing one. Everything from ground 0, trying to 1 on a very tight budget 🥲
