Are you that brazen? This one, single post, that you could have deleted, could be the difference between your company being sued off the face of the earth and you going bankrupt, and you having appropriate time to analyze the situation and plot a reasonable course without the patent holder know you were coming. I don't give a shit how superfluous the patent may be, or what chemists do. You just openly admitted that you knowingly infringed on a patent. Further, even if the patent was complete bullshit, by you openly acknowledging that you are infringing on it, you are admitting not only guilt, but you are validating the patent. IANAL, but I could easily see a court using that as the evidence it needed to validate a patent that otherwise stood no chance.

> You just openly admitted that you knowingly infringed on a patent. US patents have no baring in Canada, they currently haven't done anything wrong at all.

  Fine. "You just openly admitted that you are planning on knowingly infringe on a patent." OP said they are coming into the US market at some point. At which time, they will be infringing, and then everything I said applies.

I enjoy this forum as we can have an intelligent discourse. I appreciate your concern for my situation, but remind you that most folks here are pretty smart, so please remember that before calling people brazen and implying they don't know what they are doing. When we became aware of the patents we consulted with counsel and put a plan in place. I misspoke earlier, for dramatic effect, we are not violating the patent as we haven't entered the US market, and we don't plan to until we've addressed this issue. Furthermore, my account here is pseudo-anonymous, so you would need some serious google mastery to pull enough information together to make the connections required.
