Intellectual Property Theft

Our company shares our products and creative projects made with our products on Pinterest and elsewhere online. We watermark our images and/or render them in photoshop as packaged products to make them more difficult to pirate, but we are still seeing an enormous number of our products pirated by Chinese companies selling the same product for pennies on our dollar.

What are some of you doing to share your intellectual property for increased exposure but simultaneously protect your IP from this threat? Would love some more great ideas how we can combat this.
