Unfortunately you can only report items that are a: a direct infringement of you intellectual property rights but first you must be a member of the VeRO Programme, and be the owner of the said rights (with proof) or b: report an item that you believe a 'Potential trademark infringement', the other categories address counterfeit goods etc all of which ebay tends to ignore unless they receive a certain threshold of reports (ie: a waste of time) but again we are talking about a physical objects that need to be protected by patents/ copyright which I hope the builders of the clock get before they see these guys benefiting anymore from their hard work!
