Cinch’s experience with intellectual property is as extensive as our experience with product development and design. Both have evolved through the same process that shapes every product we make: we design, test, listen, and refine. We work with people who use our hardware every day, including those with limited strength, dexterity, or mobility. We test our designs against the demands of real-world use, including impact, water exposure, temperature changes, and repeated cycles. That process has been refined over close to a decade and has resulted in a growing portfolio of patented and patent-pending designs. Each patent and application reflects a mechanism or solution developed through our own design, testing, and refinement.

Our intellectual-property portfolio continues to grow alongside the hardware itself. New problems lead to new designs, and proven designs become part of a broader system of fastening technologies built around ease of use, strength, and reliability.

We protect these innovations so we can continue developing better hardware for the people who rely on it.
