Earlier quoted context omitted.

In french is the term restricted to an individual? All of the definitions I found see me to relate to "know how react/behave according to prevailing social rules", eg: "the ability to behave in a correct and confident way in different situations". OP seemed to be referring to technical competency for an entire industry.

I've only ever heard it used in the context of an individual, along the lines of "does this guy have the know-how to lead the dev team?".

Thank you for indulging my pedantry.

Why would it be cheaper to design, make and sell two different jackets versus one?

Well Yes. That's the irony. If you had even minimal trademark enforcement, the risk ratio would encourage you to manufacture and sell white label and counterfeit jackets as separate firewalled vendors. So one could be shut down without effecting the other. Here the risk is clearly so low they don't even bother... or maybe they have firewalled vendors and the cost of setting up a generic vendor is so low that its less…

Irony != Counter intuitive

I bought a HDD from Amazon.de, cost around 150 Euros, but it is a fake one. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0152T3NFM/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_so...

It is a German seller instead of Chinese seller, so it is a widespread problem. Amazon should take care of such problem.

I will try to sue them.
