Sealegs Secures Second Patent
Auckland, 20 February 2007: Sealegs International today announced that it has been granted and issued its second patent in New Zealand for its amphibious boat technology.
The second patent is in addition to Sealegs first patent which was granted in April 2006 in New Zealand and subsequently in Australia, South Africa and the USA. Both Sealegs first and second patents are also pending in other worldwide markets.
Sealegs CEO Mr David McKee Wright says: "The second patent is complimentary to our first patent in that it is more specific and detailed in regards to our current production designs, especially in relation to the Sealegs retractable and steerable front leg assembly".
"Sealegs has and will continue to invest in protecting its unique amphibious boat technology through further international patents" he says. "This intellectual property protection is very important and valuable in protecting our market position as the world's leading manufacturer of amphibious boats, especially as we add future potential licensing revenue streams".
In addition to its patent protection, Sealegs has been registered as a trademark and is a registered design in most of its major markets.
