Answer
In my view point, i am to illustrate this question in two aspects.
If, I were a buyer, i will firstly clarify what is my driver for buying one product. For example, when i am deciding to buy a TV, quality will go for the first place and then the price. Cos I might use this TV for the rest of my life time. So, if I were convinced by the quality, then there should be a extended room on the moneywise. But while i am deciding to buy consumer products, like paper cup for a picnic with a crowed of my friends. then the driver will be price, so, low price will be prefered instead of the quality.

Question 5
Answer
If the foreign manufacturer of the item has made an agreement with the patent holder - and can prove it to you, you are most likely in the clear.
But it is up to you to make sure. A very good way is to contact the patent holder directly and ask them if there is such an agreement in place. Often, the item has been ripped off and there is no such agreement, or if there is, the agreement may exclude some countries so that the holder can exclusively sell his product in at least those places.
