Q: is there anyway we would be granted permission to selling this product?
We did not realize there was a patent on this product and we started selling it on amazon but quickly got shut down. We are wondering if there is anyway we would be allowed to sell this product
A: You would need to contact the owner of the patent to see if they would license you to make such sales. However, before doing so, I recommend that you consult an attorney familiar with the kinds of businesses which deal in such a product so you can get a read as to whether a licensing opportunity is likely. Then the attorney can help you with the negotiation of such a license.
