That would be great. Here is the mission statement straight from raspberrypi.org:
> The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK-based charity with the mission to enable young people to realise their full potential through the power of computing and digital technologies.
Cheaper clones from China would aid that goal, but of course, it flies in the face of a fake non-profit company.
And if you are only interested in preventing counterfeits, just slap the trademarked Raspberry logo on there. No need to inhibit progress with patents.
