Legacy Paddlesports gets patents
Greensboro-based Legacy Paddlesports has received three patents and is applying for two more.
The company, which makes and sells kayaks, has picked up U.S. patents related to its new Native Watercraft Ultimate kayak design, its Adapt-a-Track accessories (which include cup holders and paddle holders) used in the Ultimate Series kayaks, and its Plug-and-Play accessory mounting system (which includes a paddle holder, a thigh pad and a dashboard) used in its Native Watercraft Magic kayaks.
Legacy Paddlesports also has applied for two patents: One for a pedal and propeller drive unit that drops into one of the company's kayak models; the other for a lightweight, cushioned seat available on some kayak models or as a separate purchase.
