Introducing "VELOSPOT": A Story of Intellectual Property Protection

"VELOSPOT" (Russian: ВЕЛОСПОТ) is a team of engineers and entrepreneurs dedicated to solving the age-old question: where can you securely store your beloved bicycle?

We recognized the team’s commitment to excellence and desire to protect their innovative solution. That’s when our partnership began.
As their prototype was ready, we started with a patent search and analyzed foreign competitors' patents. This strategic move helped the team improve their device’s design and ensure it was novel and inventive.
First, we secured the patent application. Then we extended our focus to the branding and registered the name with the logo as a trademark, ensuring the protection of the products' identity.

We further suggested an application for an industrial design patent. Given the potential demand in neighboring countries, we filed it with the Eurasian Patent Office. Through a single application, we ensured design protection in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan.

The result? Success! "VELOSPOT" now has its trademark and invention protected in Russia, while the design patent covers the Eurasian region. The obtained IP protection gives the startup monopoly rights to its products and sets the company apart from its competitors. We congratulate the team on their achievements and are thrilled to have worked with such an ambitious and innovative group.

  • We encourage other tech startups to prioritize IP protection. It ensures a strong foundation for growth and expansion, making your journey to success smoother and more secure.
