Q&A: Can I manufacture phone parts of existing phones?
Question by Kyrie Eleison: Can I manufacture phone parts of existing phones?
Hello guys. With all these phone parts that can get dinged and scraped, I was wondering if it is possible to manufacture phone parts or any other parts of common consumer electronics eg. blackberry, nokia, htc… (such as battery covers, face plates). I’m sure I cannot put their branding on it (like blackberry’s or any other company) but just sell them as generic parts. Is this possible?
Oh, and if it makes any difference. If I would do it, the plastic parts would be injection molded and cranked out of the machine just like that.

You would really need an attorney to be sure. If you aren’t branding them, then the only obstacle would be if there was actually a patent on the case or its parts. That’s pretty unlikely, but you really would need to be sure.
