Did he have a patent?

I just looked it up - yes, and far in advance of the timeframe

This is (or was) a very small business. An office and a warehouse, basically.

		Patents last up to 20 years, assuming all maintenance fees are paid, so having a patent far in advance of an event may mean it's no longer valid.

		Can you link to the patent?

Do you want to go up against whatever patent portfolio AMZN has?

		He already had the product, what would he be going up against?
