One story I heard is the inventor of the pool noodle toy, saw the onslaught of fakes, so he just made his own off brand knockoffs of his own product, and made it super cheap. He flooded the market, made a little tiny profit on a lot of product, and starved out the counterfeiters. Then he had a push to label is real product the original and made move on that as well. It may all be a BS story, but it sounds logical.
