What part of this is not already the case for microwave ovens?

You are only allowed to produce and sell an existing product, if the original creator allows you to do. In theory you can message LG that you'd love to sell one of their older models for a fee for every sold piece, but I theorize that it would be a much better world if you wouldn't need their permission for this.
