BROADMARK GETS PATENT FOR NEW CAP THAT HOLDS SUNGLASSES

The Park City Utah company has named this cap technology the gCAP™ and they present its genius as a “simple yet elegant storage solution for headwear.”

Broadmark, that holds the patent for gCAP™, has caps, hats, and visors that firmly hold and protect glasses, sunglasses and other items from falling off.

“The gCAP™ utility patent covers the holding system for headwear that is a uniquely superior and a convenient storage mechanism for eyeglasses, sunglasses, safety glasses, prescription glasses, pens, pencils and small tools such as screw drivers, pliers, laser pointers, small flash lights on a variety of headwear”, said Norman Zafman, patent attorney of Blakely, Sokoloff, Taylor & Zafman of Los Angeles, CA.

“Licensing this technology affords current suppliers of headwear the opportunity to incorporate the gCAP™ functionality into their product designs, and thereby, to substantially increase the market appeal of those products and the market share enjoyed by such licensed suppliers", he added.

The gCAP™ concept was created when Pete Cotutsca needed a holding storage area for his glasses. “I really got tired of dropping and cracking them, or worse losing expensive eyewear”, said Cotutsca, the inventor and Director of Product Development. “So I went about developing a design that was practical, easy to operate, safe, economical and most of all visually appealing.”

Broadmark (the patent holder) is the exclusive owner of a convenient storage solution for headwear. A second U.S. patent application relating to the gCAP™ technology is currently pending.

"When Pete first showed me his invention, I immediately saw a tremendous opportunity to bring a useful product to market,” Rick Flagg, CEO of Broadmark, says, “With a myriad of styles, it fits into any headwear and makes such a fashion statement while meeting a practical function. We expect over the next few years over half of all headwear will include some adaptation of the gCAP™ solution. We will continue to develop innovations for the future.”

Broadmark will license its intellectual property rights through a variety of channels, including military, industrial and consumer. “The gCAP™ patented solution is relevant in light of today’s environmental concerns. The proliferation of lost and damaged eyewear in landfills will be reduced. And that’s a nice added benefit", adds Mr. Flagg.
