It's almost impossible to do in these situations. Say you are losing $100,000 in sales yearly because someone stole your design and cloned it. You can try to go after them but it will take years in court, trips overseas, and $500,000 of legal fees. And even if you do get them to stop the next day some other guy starts cloning your products and you are back at square one. It just isn't feasible.

IMO the best way for reputable companies to fight cloners is offer what they can't: higher quality products and local service and support. Also by staying one step ahead in offering unique and innovative products. Build customer loyalty and you have less to worry about losing them to clones.
