Answer:

The answer is: YES

Explanation:

Hot Products is the legitimate owner of the patent for the manufacturing and commercialization of that fan motor. If Allied Electric wants to produce and use that specific fan motor they must come to a manufacturing licence agreement with Hot Products even thought the fan motor is used differently (one in ceiling fans and the other in air conditioners).
