Hello:
I have already submitted my idea plans and rough draft to a patent attorney for an improvement to an already existing product. The patent attorney claims that, although my product would be a major improvement to the current product already on the market, my improved product would create a patent infringement.
The bases is the current products patent is so broadly written, any other product that even closely resembling the current product would be an infrigement on anothers patent.
That being the case, then my question back the him and for this forum is, how would any newer version or improvement to an already existing product ever get to market?
Using a simple example, we would all still be using double edged razors, if major improvements could not be made until a present patent expires. Therefore, my assumption is, only razor blade manufacturing companies can make improvements???
Question #1 remains unanswered. How can a private person make another competing product that is clearly a vast improvement to a current product???
Question #2 how would any newer version or improvement to an already existing product ever get to market???
Awaiting the logical answers and legal replies.
Regards,
Tom
