I don't think it would be worth getting a patent. Theres just not enough profit potential. I just don't want to be sued into the poor house.

I would like to get a look at the agreement between the patent holder and the company producing the product to see if it's an exclusive license...

I doubt if you can ever the see the agreement between th patent holder and the manufacturer.

Start with looking at the patent. You can find the patent on line.

Read and understand the patent. I know it will be in obscure language but try. PM me the patent if you desire and I can look at it. I am not a lawyer and can not offer advice but I can help you understand the patent.

Patents only last for 17 years.
