 Other Flip Flap knockoffs are sold that are solely inspired by Flip Flaps, but not directly based on Flip Flaps, as they are sold in very different packaging than the authentic ones and have flowers that look different.According to the European Union patent database, the patent was copied by a small Chinese company called "Shenzen Longgang Pinghu Tengy".It seems that Tomy has sold the licence to market this product as "Flip Flap" in the European Union and the Chinese company infringed the copyright..
