Dear Ms. Sudheshna,
Thank you for your interest in our blog.
Kindly note that if a person has filed for a patent for his/her invention, he/she can sell the product even though it has not received the grant status. Further the person who files for a patent will enjoy the rights of a patent holder from the date of publication but the right to enforcement of the patent will be achieved only after the patent has been granted.
Thanks
