Hello,
I had an idea for a new product and after some research discovered it was already out there (sort of). I know this has happened to all of us plenty of times, but I think this is a little different in that I don't see it being marketed at all and the existing product is nothing like I envision it being designed.
The biggest roadblock is an existing patent registered in the U.S. a few years ago. Same idea, but different design. Product was also being sold on a Hong Kong website but looks like it's discontinued and poorly designed. I would like to speak to someone who knows about patents, or even a patent attorney. Anyone know anyone? I was thinking I could buy the patent, if I need to. Thanks
