Q: My company is in Australia. Can we produce a similar product with Patent number: 11040081?
A: Since your company is in Australia and the patent in question has an Australian patent number, it falls under Australian patent law. To determine if you can produce a similar product, you should consult with an intellectual property attorney in Australia who can assess the patent and advise you on its scope and potential restrictions. - James Arrasmith, Owner.

A:
It appears you may be citing the serial number of a U.S. Patent ('Low current power supply monitor circuit')? If so, that patent application was abandoned.
If you are talking about a different patent, whether you can produce a 'similar' product will depend on several factors, including (i) the country of the patent and the country or your activities, (ii) the expiration date of the patent and when you plan to start producing the product, and (iii) whether the 'similar' product falls within the scope of the claims of the patent. You should contact a qualified patent attorney directly (this is an anonymous question forum) to discuss these details.
