Museum Plagiarius opens in Germany, exposes copycats

Posted by Jeannie Choe | 3 Apr 2007 | Comments (0)

We gave a nod to Aktion Plagiarius last year for their bold initiatives in "Innovation vs. Imitation," where imitators are accused for their "unimaginative and shameless behaviour!" On April 1st, AP's Museum Plagiarius in Solingen, Germany officially opened its doors to the public, unveiling a parade of 300 original products alongside their knock-off inferiors. BusinessWeek has a nice slide show of this year's Plagiarius Award winners along with a report on plagiarism as a brutal innovation killer.
