Unless you have a patent on the synthesis of the cmpd, you can?t do much. If you put together a mix and prove that it is yours and it is able to be patented, then it is yours to patent. But, any one can take the ingredients and make their own identical mix. They just can?t sell the identical mix. In the 80?s, the Japanese businesses made a killing off patenting around an original patent. Raw ingredients are just that, raw. If this place can supply you with it, fine. If you are able to reproduce the formula, you can tell the world of your findings. If you try to sell a copy of the patented mix, that you produced, beware.
