Explore the 33 granted patents behind cycleWASH technology — from counter-rotating brush systems and water recycling to solar integration and IoT connectivity. Made in Germany engineering excellence.
Frequently asked questions
What do the 33 patents actually cover?
Four families: rotating brush geometry and bristle material, closed-loop water management, self-calibration and safety interlocks, and modular station architecture. Most are granted in DE, EU, US, JP, KR, CN, with pending continuations in India and Brazil.
Does patent protection matter to operators?
Yes indirectly. Patents prevent cheap clones that would crash into the market with lower build quality. For you as a fleet operator, this means cycleWASH parts, manuals, and service stay available for the full 10-year lifecycle instead of an orphaned product from a cheap competitor.
Are any patents expiring soon?
The earliest (2016) start entering public domain in 2036. By then our next-generation platform is already shipping. The IP roadmap is built around 20-year layered protection so cycleWASH always ships with protected technology one tier above the open market.
Can I see the patent list?
Yes — the full list with EPO/USPTO numbers is available under NDA for qualified procurement evaluations, and a public summary is in the investor materials. Request access via the contact form and we'll share it same-week.
