What is the name of your state? CA
I've discovered a variation of a product that is not covered by any patents. It's a design that no manufacturer has thought of but a few specialty stores make them for small custom orders when customers want it in a different "material" or "color".
I think the design is superior to what is currently used and would like to find out if a patent is still possible even if it's already being made by these speciality shops.
I did exhaustive research in the patent database and did not find anything related to it. Would it be worth getting a patent?
If I ask my suppliers to make it in mass, I know every buyer will want this design over the current one.
Thanks in advance for any advice!What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?
