Patented products are designed to have specific functional characteristics. These have to be technically advantageous and innovative. Proprietary products also enable our licensees to develop the market for their sole benefit. No competitor can offer these shapes. Generic pavers offer no technical benefits and have to be sold in a much more competitive manner. You not only have the better product; you are also the only one selling it.
