Re:Would it be illegal to use in the US (Score 1)

patents control use. yes, it would be illegal to use the infringing product without a patent license.

So.... If I buy an ACME Deluxe Pooper Scooper that infringes a patent held by Foobar, Inc., I get in trouble for using it?

Fear of my neighbors' wrath outweighs fear of Foobar, in this case.
