SWMBRD Announces Successful Registration of United Kingdom Design Patent
VANCOUVER, BC, – TheNewswire – November 25, 2022: SWMBRD Sports Inc. (CSE:SWIM) (“SWMBRD ” or the “Company “) is pleased to announce the successful registration of a United Kingdom design patent for the Company’s proprietary aquatic sports board.
The United Kingdom design registration is in addition to SWMBRD’s existing intellectual property portfolio, covering multiple embodiments of its unique swimboard design and associated accessories, as disclosed in the Company’s final long form prospectus (available on SEDAR, www.sedar.com).
“We are very pleased that the important UK Design Registration has been granted,” says Justin Schroenn (President and CEO of SWMBRD Sports Inc.). “Revenue in the UK Aquatic Sports Equipment segment amounts to US$110.8 million in 2022. The market is expected to grow annually by 4.29% CAGR 2022-2027 (www.statista.com).
Residents of the United Kingdom are an important target market for SWMBRD. The current population of the United Kingdom is 68,736,857 as of Wednesday, November 23, 2022, based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest United Nations data.
Not only are UK residents a major component of summertime tourism in vacation destinations throughout Mediterranean coastline from Spain to Turkey, but we believe SWMBRD’s versatility brings into orbit the spectacular coastline (both still water and surf), lakes and rivers of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland as well.
Of significance also is the fact that many cars and residences in the UK tend to be compact. Consequently, management believes that SWMBRD’s small size (3’2”), lightness (8.7lbs), easy carrying ergonomics and unique versatility of use, may make it a perfect aquatic sports product for the UK consumer.
The award of this UK design patent strengthens SWMBRD’s position as developer of its proprietary swimboard and serves as a strong foundation for future SWMBRD products, accessories, events, media and lifestyle products.
SWMBRD’s expanding intellectual property portfolio continues to be a key strategic component of the Company’s growth. While SWMBRD does not divulge jurisdictions in which intellectual property applications are still pending, the Company is pleased to keep investors apprised of important jurisdictions in which applications have been successful, such as the United Kingdom Design Registration now granted. We would like to thank Thomas Bailey and the team at Oyen, Wiggs, Green & Mutala LLP for all their efforts in helping to secure this very important accomplishment.”
