Distribution Agreement
Illinois
I have a patent pending on my product. I have one product being made into a sample now with a China manufacturer. They are also developing another new product to work along with the initial product. I need an attorney to write up a contract license agreement for the sales and distribution of my products. I am in the process of developing a trademark to put all my products under.
