dan,
since its not illegal to sell the drug without using the trademarked name "adipotide". could you recommend any research labs located outside the patented areas that are selling the drug?
thanks,

Zomorodi;
I haven't seen it for sale yet, but I am sure Chinese and Indian labs will start selling it once they realize the huge market potential.
For now you will have to place a custom order yourself. You can do this even with labs in the countries were the patents apply because these labs (including US labs) do not check to see if a sequence is patented before making it. They leave this up to the customer and they also guarantee that the orders placed with them are confidential, ie they won't tell anyone what you are ordering. Peptide labs make thousands and thousands of custom peptides mainly for research purposes and they can't worry about what the peptides can do and what they will be used for, and since peptides haven't yet been used and abused as recreational drugs, the authorities are not too concerned. The peptides are sold "For Research Purposes Only".
If you live in the US, buy adipotide from a US lab and self-administer it without a license from Arrowhead Research, you are infringing on their patent and can be prosecuted. However, this is between you and Arrowhead, not you and the government, and as an individual that is not selling adipotide and only using it yourself, Arrowhead may or may not do something about it, provided they first know what you are up to. Arrowhead is probably most interested in stopping companies like GWP from selling it, and they are even more interested in getting Adipotide FDA approved before the basic patents expire in 2021 so that they can sell it to millions of people and make billions in profits.
