BMW,Mercedes to sue Chinese copy-cats

DaimlerChrysler and BMW are threatening legal action over Chinese-made vehicles that they claim are copies of their own models, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.

DaimlerChrysler said it would consider unspecified legal action if tiny Chinese carmaker Shuanghuan Automobile showed the Noble, which it says closely resembles DaimlerChrysler's Smart Fortwo minicar, at next month's Frankfurt motor show, the FT reported, quoting a spokesman from DaimlerChrysler.
BMW said it was considering legal action against the German importer of another Shuanghuan vehicle, the "CEO," which it claims closely resembles a previous version of its X5 sports utility vehicle that was discontinued in 2006, the paper said.
