I have adapted a simple wooden patented product for a new market; HOW do I go about using this and how much pound;? -

I want to use a simple wooden patented product for a new market but adapted; HOW can I do this?I want to use an old patented product for a new market in a different size and design. This product has been used in different materials for different markets but not for the use I want it for. The product has only ever been used for a certain market but used extensively by many different companies/makers/manufactureres. I would like to change the size of this product and the design and aim it for a totally new market, How do I go about this with minimal funds? This has not been done with this product so it will be a totally new angle but a much needed one in my experience.Can anyone help me? I am in the UK

Maybe start by searching for other patents that might cover your use or other devices that do the same thing:http://gb.espacenet.com/search97cgi/s97_��Is the old patent more than 20 years old, ie expired or still in force ?If you find nothing you have a choice of doing it your self or paying. Suggest that after a some initial search by yourself you contact the patents office.
