Legal issues with using a patented product
Joe Moa, Holmes, N.Y.
I am currently in the last stages of putting a product on the market, and I am using a patented product as a component to my product. I made several modifications to the patented product. Can I still use the modified patented product as a component to my product without any legal issues?
