What's up people.
I had an idea for a new product. I found a manufacturer through Alibaba and had some prototypes made. I'm ready to take the next step and market this thing and I found that this idea is patented... I guess I should have checked on that before... Ready, fire, aim approach on this one.
Anyways, there is nothing like my idea on the market but the patent exists. What should I do about this? Contact them? Move forward anyways and ignore it? Chuck my samples in the trash and cry like a baby?
Just wondering if any of you folks had this issue and pushed through it.
Cheers.
