Hello..I want to list the product on the FBA. I clarified that this product is not patented, but I want confirmation from you..
A: You will need to hire a patent attorney to provide an opinion letter on whether the product infringes a valid patent. This is a complex analysis and cannot be answered easily.
A:
Step one is that someone needs to search for relevant patents. You can retain a patent attorney to conduct a freedom to operate search. https://www.flynniplaw.com/services/legal-services/freedom-to-operate/opinions
If you want to do some initial searching, you can start with some tips from my slide set. http://bit.ly/Patent_Searching
I hope this helps.
