AYRO wins Patent for Vehicle Seat Design
AYRO, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of electric, purpose-built delivery vehicles and solutions for micro distribution, micro-mobility and last-mile delivery, has been issued U.S. Patent No. D996076 from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the “vehicle seat” of the 2023 AYRO Vanish.
The awarded design patent is for the ornamental design of a new exoframe seat onto which customizable damped and covered bolsters may be fastened to improve ride comfort and diminish driver fatigue.
“This patent is representative of our team’s commitment to developing low-speed electric vehicles (LSEVs) with innovative technologies, comforts and features we believe are unlike any other in this market,” noted Tom Wittenschlaeger, CEO of AYRO.
“The vehicles we are creating, beginning with the Vanish, represent a thoughtful embodiment of practicality, comfort and versatility. Seats are often overlooked as a key element of operator productivity.”
The design patent represents another milestone for AYRO as the Company seeks to develop new and original designs for its vehicles.
As defined by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, a design patent is issued for the “visual ornamental characteristics embodied in, or applied to, an article of manufacture” and “protects the way an article looks.” It gives its owner “the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling the design claimed for a period of up to 15 years.”
