UK patented product produced in China

Question

If a patented product of ours is produced by another company in China (no patent) without a licence and sold to one of our UK competitors operating in South Korea, is there any way we can protect our IP in the UK? What are the best options, if any? Thank you for your advice!

There's this neat trick of putting out a software driver that disabled clones of a USB hub chip but I suspect self-help mechanisms are not well recieved. Unless you change subcontractors, perhaps a legal approach formalising the reality and asking for cross-licensing fees may be a compromise.
