I am starting a business of selling nutritional supplements.
Actually it is only one supplement. Currently, I am buying
it wholesale and selling retail. The wholesale price includes
the patent fees.
I would much prefer to manufacture the supplement myself.
I feel that the patent is groundless. Need a legal advice
to know if I can do anything about it.
Can I ask a lawyer, for a fee, to prepare a lawyer's opinion
about the issue so if I am sued the judge will treat me
fairly? Iwould also post a copy of that opinion on my business
website.
The substance in question is a simple salt. The subject
of the patent is 'The method of administering that salt'.
Am I going to be OK if I advise my customers to administer
that salt differently than what is described in the patent?
Believe me, they will not miss much.
I thought that in America you cannot patent a natural substance
like vitamin C. The salt in question is something even simpler
than a vitamin.
Please help.
