He's a great guy to talk to very helpful and friendly...he's known as...the scot....spoke to him many times on ukv
He made the original cobra atty and china has done there usall copying and naming

Is it possible to own a name like cobra? surely not, that would be like having copyright on names like cat, rat and mouse.

[fiddles]

yeah but if it wasn't for the chinese they wouldn't be making an atomiser.

I wonder if Hon Lik is getting all his royalties

In 1963, Herbert Gilbert patented "a smokeless non-tobacco cigarette". In his patent Gilbert described how his device worked, by "replacing burning tobacco and paper with heated, moist, flavored air." Gilbert's device involved no nicotine, smokers of Gilbert's device enjoyed flavored steam. Attempts to commercialize Gilbert's invention failed and his product fell into obscurity. However, it deserves a mention as the earliest patent for an electronic cigarette.
Better known is the the invention of Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik, who patented the first nicotine based electronic cigarette in 2003. The following year, Hon Lik was the first person to manufacture and sell such a product, first in the Chinese market and then internationally

I hear many complaints about Chinese copys ,but I wonder if they realise China invented the e-cig. So without Hon Lik they wouldn't be making these attys & I wonder if Hon Lik is getting a fair bite of the Apple but I doubt it

With copyright yes your correct you can't own the name "cobra" as it is clearly the name of a snake, however you can own the copyright for any atomiser/vaping device branded cobra. You own it as a trade mark associated with any product of the same design or any product similar enough to cause others to believe they are made by one and the same person.

Hon Lik didn't invent the Genisis style atty though did he, Raidy did. All these designs we see now are based on his original doings, just made better. What do the Chinese copy most? Not their own sh!te that's for sure.
