We (Catering Co.) already have the tax id, we are a partnership, and have had insurance for a year now, infact we just renewed our policy and this cook tonight is to help pay the premium.

I am no where near wanting to market my own rub. My sauce maybe in the next 12-18months. I was really just looking for a place to buy rub shakers/containers. I like the ones you (todd) use, and would like one in a smaller size as well. Say around 6oz. I was just wondering where you got yours and if it was worth my while to try and buy them in small batches say 100 or less at a time.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

I see now 'co-packers' is a company.

Thanks, I spoke with a guy from Griffith at the competition but I was too far into doing my thing to get a grip on what he was talking about I'll have to get in touch with him.
Thanks.

I respect your moral concerns

If it is patented and you make a modification to it that improves it, you can then patent your version. Its done all the time.

If they are giving out the recipe in a book, I would bet major money that it is not patented. Plus I am sure the author got the recipe from somewhere else anyway and made a few modifications so he could call it his own.
