Gripple

Intellectual Property

Our entire company was founded on a unique patented idea, something which allowed us to invest heavily in our state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment. By protecting our intellectual property, it means we can continue to invest not only in the manufacturing process, but also in the development of further new products.

We hold patents in the EU, as well as numerous countries around the world. Since the original Gripple patent was filed, we have devoted over £1 million to securing further IP rights, which include not only patents, but also trademarks and registered designs.

We believe that investment in IP is an absolute must, and we’ll never compromise on this. As a market leader with a vast product range and a history of successes, we are often prone to imitation – whilst flattered by this, we of course vigorously defend our designs, not least because we invest so much to bring them to market.

We have extensive experience in managing patent applications; it’s a key metric in our product development process. If we can’t patent a product, then we don’t pursue it – it’s as simple as that. As a result of our endeavour to develop useful, imaginative products that help our clients improve their performance and productivity, we have been awarded over thirty unique patents. Our reverence of IP has allowed us to achieve all we have, and we fully acknowledge how intrinsic it is to our future growth.
