If you’re in the aftermarket wheel business, you better be thinking about patents or you’re getting left behind.

 

But don’t believe me, believe the facts. Check out which of your competitors were granted design patents on their wheel designs in November 2018, and scroll to the bottom for my favorites.

 

 

… and the wheel design patent leader board for November 2018 is:

 

5 patents awarded to Jaguar Land Rover

5 patents awarded to Donnie Han, Corona, California, the Director of Design at Design Infini

4 patents awarded to Allied Wheel Components

3 patents awarded to Mobile Hi-Tech Wheels

3 patents awarded to Suny Chung, Anaheim, California, apparently associated with Design Infini and possible the Center Line brand.

2 patents awarded to Wheel Group Holdings

2 patents awarded to Volvo

 

Hopefully the crew at Design Infini are keeping the patents owned by the individual inventors, as opposed to the company, based upon sound legal advice (seems odd).

 

My favorite wheel design patents issued in November are…
