Ready to schedule a contract review?
You might be well-acquainted with Yeti’s legendary products, known for their exceptional insulation technology. If you’ve ever sipped from a Yeti-insulated coffee mug, you know that it can keep your drink piping hot for hours. But let’s peel back the layers and delve into the intriguing story of Yeti’s engineers.
Yeti is no stranger to patent filings, leveraging intellectual property protection to secure their innovative technologies. Their engineers have undoubtedly crafted some exceptional products that have earned the trust of consumers worldwide. Yeti’s commitment to quality and performance is evident in every sip of hot coffee that remains hot, even hours after being poured.
However, there’s a twist in the tale. At one point, one of Yeti’s lead engineers embarked on his entrepreneurial journey and created a side company. This decision set the stage for a legal battle that raised questions about intellectual property ownership. The dispute concerned whether the engineer took Yeti’s intellectual property to develop his new product line or if his innovations were entirely his own.
“Catherine and her team have been an essential part of my company since day 1. I know that I can call Catherine at any time with questions or for help. IP WORKS is fantastic at communication & attentiveness. Catherine always breaks things down so that I can better understand and is very thorough. As an entrepreneur with a start up – I can sleep easy at night knowing I have IP WORKS on my side.”
The legal wrangling continued for a significant duration, and the case outcome is something you’ll need to explore separately. However, the fact that both Yeti and the engineer’s side company, Arctic, are still thriving suggests that they found a way to resolve their differences and coexist in the market.
Yeti’s ability to protect its products and continue delivering some of the finest insulation technology in the industry is a testament to the importance of intellectual property safeguards.
