- Q. According to U.S. PATENT NO. 10,745,833, we need clarification if we are producing same towels can we import it into US
- 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.
- Q. Is there a patent for counter rotating blades blenders
- A: The question is a little too broad to answer. If you are considering pursuing a patent based on this idea, you should avoid disclosing the details of your invention on a public forum like this, as your own public disclosure could end up being prior art that will impede your ability to obtain a patent. Instead, you should discuss the details confidentially with a qualified patent attorney, who can help you conduct a search and review of the relevant prior art. Based on these search results, the patent attorney will be able to give you an idea of what aspects of your invention are likely patentable in view of what is already out there.

Based on these search results, the patent attorney will be able to give you an idea of what aspects of your invention are likely patentable in view of what is already out there.
