1. You are acting here as a reviewer, there is a new product in the market, you listen to it, you judge and publish your veredict.2.- As far as I understand, it's not your obligation to know if the technology included into that product has been "borrowed", clearly copied or whether it is the fruit of extensive research work. That's the problem of the new product's manufacturer ethics and perhaps the first product's who might start a lawsuit for copy.
3.- You should clearly state in your review (I haven't read it yet) that this is a new company's product and nothing about their reliability is known. We know nothing about service, warranty, dealers... Is not a problem, but it should be commented.
I think that this post honours you and your concerns are understandable, but I don't think it's a reviewer's mission to support only the products that are innovative in their designs, are solidly stablished or provide excellent service. Then what would happen is that only very few brands would be reviewed. I think your goal should be to offer an objective (in this case since subjectiveness in involved, at least unbiased should be enough) assessment of a product´s performance.
Just my opinion.
