As you can read by the title, I have an idea for a product, I know exactly how to execute but I was doing some research and found out that the idea I have, has a patent on it. But I wanted to know if there's some way around that because there are a lot of the same things out there that have probably been patented. Like earbuds for MP3 players, it's probably patented but tons of different companies do it.What can I do?
