Keep in mind Patents are Not the Be it to End it all if you Know what I mean...
I regularly see Lots of Specialty Products that have Patents but if you read more on the subject Many of those products are Re-worked and Re-created with just a few Changes into a Fresh New Product...
The Global marketplace of Competition will always be out there Watching and Marketing so Learn how to work around it and Do it Better than the Competition...
Just like the Many business ideas that we Love “twisting” around into Unique & more interesting ideas...
There are Lots of Patent related articles online that touch on some of these Topics so be Aware and Educated...
