Question regarding the sale of full power lasers in the United States. I plan to get working with a foreign company in China to start producing my own laser design, it is a mounted laser designator and illuminator in one with a power of 50mw and 150mw respectively.

They will be designing the PCBs for it to my requirements, I will be designing the actual housing and other components, but they will produce and assemble everything overseas and ship me assembled units. The lasers would then be sent to me as I order them, and then I would sell them in the United States, either on my own website or ebay and other places.

Dear Alex, You are embarking on a new product with Chinese partners. You will need to secure the proper IP agreements and protect your IP ASAP- BEFORE signing any agreements with the partner or disclosing your invention to them. You definitely need legal counsel for this. Also, some products, especially ones with military applications are restricted for export. Please be in touch if I can be of further service to you. GB
