Patent-Pending Technology
These products are covered by patent applications currently pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
What “Patent Pending” Means for You
A granted patent means the United States Patent and Trademark Office has examined the invention and confirmed it is new. “Patent pending” means an application has been filed and is under examination. In both cases it signals the same thing to a homeowner: this is not a rebadged part you can buy anywhere else. Handle-Man products are not sold through big box retailers or other online brands.
