Absolutely! You can sell your product at any time, whether you have a patent or not. However, you need to make absolutely certain that your product is not in violation of someone else's patent, or your could be sued .

That would not be wise. A pending patent means approval is most likely coming but sometimes the search comes back saying there is a similar product on the market and the patent is denied after all. It's best to wait until you get the absolute go ahead before you start making any plans for sale.

Learn How to Patent an Idea?

Many people have great ideas, and even invent devices and products, but never show them to anyone because they're worried about someone stealing their idea. Patenting protects the original inventor's intellectual property rights, while allowing the patent holder to not only demonstrate the invention to other people, but also produce and sell the invention for profit. In order to patent an invention, it must meet the following criteria. It must be unique. An invention that builds on another product or device, but makes minor changes, cannot be patented and may be infringing on the patent for the other product. It must be proven to work. Concepts cannot be patented. The product or device must actually do what it is intended to do. It cannot be a general idea. It cannot be something anyone can come up with. The inventor must submit detailed drawings and a technical description, which will be considered as part of the patent application. It cannot be a natural phenomenon such as the law of gravity, earthquakes or hail. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) maintains a website with answers to most questions potential patent applications have about the patent process. Applicants can also file a patent application online and pay fees. Perhaps the most useful section of the PTO website is the patent search function. Here, potential patent applicants can search through all patents currently registered in the United States. Searching for similar patents is always advisable before putting the time and effort into a patent application. The patent application process can take several years. While waiting for the patent decision, inventors can market their inventions and enjoy protection. The term "patent pending" will deter others from stealing the idea and allow the inventor to enjoy the protection of the patent process before the actual patent is awarded. The patent process is long and can be frustrating to inventors who want to patent their ideas. However, the end result is well worth the time and effort involved. Owning a patent offers more than just protection of the idea. A patent is an asset, which can be handed down to heirs, sold or given as a gift. Most inventors will benefit greatly from protecting their ideas while creating a valuable asset that will add to their net worth and will appreciate in time.
