Biodiesel production was first invented in 1859, so there are no existing patents on the overall process. It is in the public domain. Some processors, such as the continuous processors are patented, but you are not likely to use one of them. Some techniques are copyrighted, such as Aleks Kac's "Foolproof" method. He can be approached for a license, but is often generous for small producers and does not charge. Generally, there is no license required for small producers, backyard producers, and even startup business in any but the larger scales.
