And that would violate both BMWs Trademark and Patent, which at least in Switzerland could mean having to pay BMW damages and get fined for importing counterfeit goods.

good thing that it would be a chinese copy, and thus, not subject to switzerland law. So i wonder if chinese law recognize this patent/trademark for a screw?

Their point is that there's a possibility that Swiss customs fines them and confiscates the "counterfeit."

Fine. But the broader point is that the customer is the product, not the owner of a purchase.
