Q: can i produce the product under patent number 903852?

a half shell element (10) for the production of a hollow body with an identical further half shell element (10), with at least one guide (20 . . . 20??) for the further element (10), which is constructed in the region of a first half periphery (11) of its encircling edge (12), so that the further element (10) can be pushed onto the half shell element (10) from the second half periphery (11?) of the edge (12) lying opposite this first half periphery (11) and guided on the edge (12) and held in a final position. The hollow bodies which are thus produced can be both inserted into steel cages and also connected with each other via bars and built into concrete layers.

A: Let me help you think through this patent question carefully.

Without seeing the full patent documentation and legal status, I cannot definitively say whether you can produce this product. The patent number you've provided appears to be for a construction-related invention involving half shell elements that combine to form hollow bodies used in concrete structures.

Before proceeding with any production, you would need to verify several important factors: First, check if this patent is still active, as patents typically expire after 20 years. Second, determine the jurisdictions where this patent is valid, as patent protection varies by country. Third, examine whether your intended production would infringe on the specific claims outlined in the patent documentation. I recommend consulting with a patent attorney who can conduct a proper analysis and advise you on potential licensing requirements or alternative approaches.
