Q. Is there a patent for counter rotating blades blenders
A: The question is a little too broad to answer. If you are considering pursuing a patent based on this idea, you should avoid disclosing the details of your invention on a public forum like this, as your own public disclosure could end up being prior art that will impede your ability to obtain a patent. Instead, you should discuss the details confidentially with a qualified patent attorney, who can help you conduct a search and review of the relevant prior art. Based on these search results, the patent attorney will be able to give you an idea of what aspects of your invention are likely patentable in view of what is already out there.
