qqp question1: I want to open a store with different alibaba products. From clothes to toys. But if I want to sell my store as a franchise how can I do it? question2: I have patented a product and got it manufactured in China, but I want to sell it in the USA through an online eCommerce store, at the same time I'm not a US citizen or resident. How can I patent my product in the US so that my idea/product won't be stolen/copied?
