「在美國，原創性比財富更受尊重」，這是商業策略顧問李恆2015年刊登於“換日線”(Crossing)網站的文章標題；而我們相信，不只美國，原創性不論在任何國家都比財富更受尊重。確實，原創性對於從事創作領域的工作者而言格外重要，每個作品都是創作者的心血結晶，應該都要受到尊重與保護。
勝泰衛材飲水龍頭的原創產品設計，曾不幸遭到抄襲，歷經一年智慧財產權的官司訴訟；所幸最終圓滿落幕。產品設計的原創性是勝泰衛材始終貫徹的理念，是設計師們努力的心血與成果，連續多年榮獲海內外設計獎是最好的證明，勝泰衛材絕對捍衛自身產品設計的原創性，這決心是不容遭到質疑與侵犯的。
原創與抄襲的議題，讓我們不難聯想到最近沸沸揚揚的論文門案，究竟抄襲的後果有多嚴重? 論文因涉嫌抄襲而被所屬大學撤銷學位，顯示了原創性的價值與重要性是絕對不容挑戰的。
我們要再次強調原創性之重要，任何形式的原創都是創作者最寶貴的資產，都應該受到尊重和保護。不論個人或是企業，都應該尊重彼此的創作，並遵守原創的最高原則。

“Originality is More Respected than Wealth in the US”, the title of an article posted on Crossing in 2015 by Li Heng, a business strategy consultant. We believe that originality is more respected than wealth in not just the US, but in any other country as well. Yes, originality is rather crucial for people dedicating in the creative field, and any form of creation is a piece of hard work which should always be well protected and treated with respect.
Sheng Tai’s water-drinking faucet was once plagiarized, and went through a one-year Intellectual Property Litigation; fortunately, the trial ended successfully. The originality of product design has always been our prime principle; it is the dedication from our designers, and winning domestic and overseas design awards for many years is the best proof. For decades, we stand for the originality of product design, which leaves no room for doubt and infringement.
Again, we emphasize the importance of originality. Any form of creation is an asset to the creators, and should all be respected and as well protected. Whether personal or business, we should pay respect to the creation of others, and always adhere to the highest principle of originality.
