Whether you are liable for compensation if you sell products that infringe patents?

Legal analysis: It needs to be determined according to the specific situation. Selling someone else’s patented product without the permission of the patentee constitutes infringement. If the seller does not know that it is selling patent-infringing products without the permission of the patent owner and can prove the legal source of the product, it will not be liable for compensation, but it must immediately stop selling patent-infringing products.
