Found a patented product but it is still sold on Alibaba

[johk]

Hi,


I found a product that I think have potential.

After doing some DD I found out this particular product has a patent in US (and also Australia).

When looking on Alibaba the manufacturer (he is not the holder of the patent) is still selling this product and offered me to send some samples.


Obviously finding out that this product has a patent will temporarily halt the idea. If I buy the product through the Chinese manufacturer the patent would still apply – I mean the patent is for the ‘idea and function of the product”? How come the current patent holder allow the manufacturer to sell his patent product? I guess the product is not patented in all countries and that is why the manufacturer can sell it??


Thanks

J
