Hi, I'm currently searching on Alibaba for product ideas after reading some Amazon/importing threads on this forum. But I'm wondering how to make sure that the product I'm about to import doesn't infringe any trademark or patent?
For example, I see many mp3 players for sale and there's definitely intellectual property associated with the design of the products. Can I still simply put my branding on the product and claim that it's my own?
Another example, what about generic iPhone cables? Wouldn't I get in trouble if I simply put my branding on them?
Those are 2 obvious examples but there's IP associated with most products and don't know how I should deal with that.
Thanks!
