Broadmark, Inc. was recently granted a patent for its gCAP™ TECHNOLOGY solution. gCAP™ is a refined, yet simple solution for all headwear including caps, hats, and visors that firmly holds and protects glasses, sunglasses and other items from falling off and becoming lost or damaged. It will be marketed under the trade name gCAP™ Technology, which is the acronym for glasses to Cap Access Point.
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.
