Masaba Mining Equipment, Inc., a client of Woods Fuller, requested help with protecting an innovation for its aggregate conveyors, and we prepared and filed a patent application on the technology that was issued as U.S. Patent No. 11,214,448 by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (U.S.P.T.O.) entitled “AXLE-INTEGRATED MOVEMENT SENSING APPARATUS FOR CONVEYORS.” The invention protectively integrates into the axle housing a device for measuring the movement of the conveyor via the axle rotation.
If you have a development or invention that you would like to investigate protecting, please contact Jeff Proehl at Woods, Fuller, Shultz, and Smith, P.C. to discuss your options.
