A: U.S patents cover importation (if your product infringes the patent, you cannot import them into the U.S. without being liable for infringement). This patent covers both fabric products and methods of manufacture. The specific coverage is defined in the claims, which are of varied scope. Whether your towels would infringe this patent can only be determined by comparing your specific products and manufacturing methods to the language of these claims. You should consult a qualified patent attorney who can assist you with this analysis and give you an opinion regarding possible infringement.
