Guy Accuses Huawei Of Copying His Music Video Shot For Shot, And The Pics Speak For Themselves
From Dior to Domino’s Pizza and beyond, a lot of companies have been accused of plagiarism. And musician Nigel Stanford believes that Huawei should be as well. Recently, Nigel has pointed out that the Chinese telecommunications giant created a commercial for one for their tablets that looks a lot like his music video, titled CYMATICS: Science Vs. Music.
“I researched all the experiments [featured in CYMATICS: Science Vs. Music] in my apartment with my first kid learning to crawl around them it was my first hit video, so I’m pretty fond of it,” Nigel told Bored Panda. “I learned about Huawei’s commercial from a British fan. He told me about it after seeing it on a tablet in a store.”

Naturally, Nigel got pretty mad. “A lot of companies have copied the ideas in the video, but this one copied every aspect. All the shots, the stage layout, even the types of lights.” He hasn’t contacted the company yet, but revealed that he’s planning to take legal actions.
Scroll down to check out both videos and leave your verdict in the comments.

I saw the Cymatics video years ago. It's amazing. The music and the videos both are awesome.

Unfortunately for Nigel Stanford, a U.S. patent or trademark or even plagiarism does not afford protection in another country.

Unless he filed a trademark wIth the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) or even with the Madrid System-a one stop shop application process which protects work within a coalition of countries (including China) then his battle just got a lot more complicated... However, with the help of a reputable IP Lawyer he will likely receive some sort of settlement, especially from the likes of a a large and recognizable company who will want to avoid any negative press, like Huawei! Best of luck!
