Hey guys. I wondered if someone would be so kind as to take a look at a patent that has been enforced for a product i was selling. I knew bowflex had designed the initial concept but stupidly didn't think they would have an active patent in place. So of course naturally I am no longer able to sell the cheaper imports from China. Even although they are dam good quality!
Bizzarley I have just been reading up on design protection and patent law for my own product due to be released soon. So I understand why these things are in place. I lost my job due to coronavirus and have a 9 year old girl to support as well as best laid plans for 2020 that have been shattered. I was just trying to adapt and make a little money on the side with the dreaded dropshipping! Hate doing it but managed to import from Europe so customers don't have to wait to long. But now this!
Anyway long and short of it, is this patent active in the UK? Bearing in mind we are no longer part of the EU. And, does this patent allow bowflex to stop these being mass produced and sold all over the web. Mainly Alibaba. As far as i can see this only covers the US? But difficult to understand some of these parents.

My website is www.home-fitness-world.com if anyone would also like to suggest improvements on building websites. I'm new to this also.
Thank you in advance for everyone's time.

PS take it easy on me! My world has been turned upside down and only just recovered from 1 month of falling ill to this horrid thing! But you adapt and thrive right!? Or try.
