Patent Certificates
Three Irish and two European wide patents have thus far been awarded, covering two aspects of the PanelDuct® system:
- the design of the push seal geometry, which facilitates the airtight snap fit assembly of the panels, and
- the high volume manufacturing process by which the panels are produced.
These features are patent pending in the US, Japan, China, Canada and Australia, where they are currently being examined. They are expected to proceed to grant in each of these countries in the latter half of 2014.
International trade marks for all these geographies are also pending.
