Utility Patent

U.S. Nonprovisional — Core Technology

✓ Allowed

The USPTO has issued a Notice of Allowance for our core utility patent, confirming that RIZZL's puzzle mechanism is a legally recognized novel invention. This is our primary moat — it covers the method and system at the heart of every RIZZL product.

FiledProsecutionAllowed ✓Issued
🔒 A Notice of Allowance means the patent is legally cleared for issuance. Competitors cannot legally manufacture or sell a product using this mechanism without a license from RIZZL.

Continuation-in-Part

U.S. — Expanded Claims

Filed

We've filed a Continuation-in-Part (CIP) that extends our patent coverage to new configurations and product embodiments developed after the original filing. It builds on our allowed utility patent while broadening the scope of legal protection.

Filed ✓ExaminationAllowanceIssue
🔗 A CIP locks in our priority date for the original invention while covering new developments — ensuring that product innovations we've made along the way are fully protected.

Design Patent

U.S. — Ornamental Appearance

Filed

In addition to protecting how RIZZL works, we've filed a design patent covering how it looks. This protects the distinctive visual appearance of our product — giving us legal grounds to act against imitations that copy RIZZL's look and feel.

Filed ✓ExaminationAllowanceIssue
📐 Design patents protect ornamental appearance and carry a high USPTO allowance rate. Together with our utility patent, this gives RIZZL layered protection over both function and form.

PCT International Filing

World Intellectual Property Organization

Filed

We've filed an international patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), preserving our right to seek patent protection across 150+ countries through a single coordinated filing. This lays the foundation for global patent coverage as we scale.

Filed ✓Int'l SearchNational PhaseLocal Patents
🌍 The PCT process gives RIZZL a single filing date that is recognized across all member countries — a critical step in protecting our invention in the markets where we intend to compete.

Trademark Portfolio

Brand Protection — U.S. & International

US Pending WIPO Madrid Filed

🇺🇸 U.S. Trademark

We have an active trademark application pending with the USPTO for the RIZZL™ mark in International Class 028 (Games & Toys). The application was filed on a use-in-commerce basis, meaning RIZZL is already in the market and actively building brand equity.

Filed ✓ExaminationPublicationRegistered
The RIZZL™ mark is protected under common-law trademark rights from first use in commerce, in addition to this pending federal registration.

🌐 International Trademark — WIPO Madrid Protocol

We've filed a WIPO Madrid Protocol application designating 11 international markets — covering the major consumer economies in Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, South Asia, and Latin America. A single application coordinates brand protection across all of them.

Filed ✓WIPO ReviewNatl. ExaminationRegistered
🌍 The Madrid Protocol allows a single filing to trigger examination in multiple countries simultaneously — the most efficient path to coordinated global trademark protection.

What This Means
🔒

The Mechanism Is Protected

Our USPTO-allowed utility patent legally recognizes RIZZL's puzzle system as a novel invention. No one can replicate how RIZZL works without a license from us.

🌎

Global Coverage, Not Just U.S.

Between our PCT patent filing and WIPO trademark filing, RIZZL has initiated IP protection across the world's largest consumer markets — wherever we grow, our IP follows.

🛡️

Layered from Every Angle

Utility, design, brand — our portfolio is built in layers. Copying RIZZL requires getting around multiple independent protections simultaneously. That's by design.
