    Default May I Buy a Product and Turn It into Something Else

    My name is Stevin. I'm new on the board, and if you don't mind, I would like ask you a question regarding a copyright situation.
    Let's say i bought a product. I got it home and before you know it, I realized it could work in the prototype of a product I'm working on.
    I would modify it, manufacture it, market it, and sell it... right?
    "their" product is used for something ENTIRELY different from what I would use it for..Can I do this? Or....Would I have to make a deal with them to use their product in my product. Or could they be my manufacturer?

    And if so, what types of things would they want, in general.
    I know I said ONE question.. lol..sorry

    Thanks in advance.

    If they will make a deal with you to manufacture your product, that would certainly simplify the manufacturing side of things. If there's truly a market for the modified product you would need to explore ways to protect your innovation, as otherwise the manufacturer or another party might simply start to manufacture and market the modified product in competition with you.

    Most products are made from other products. Your question is rather cryptic, so we can't really speak to the (missing) details.
