Zaptec has several patents that protect the core of their solutions

With its unique charging system for electric cars, Zaptec Charger AS has managed to become the market leader in housing estates, housing associations and businesses. The charger is patent protected, like most of Zaptec's products.

Zaptec is a Norwegian-owned company that was established in 2012. Their establishment and technology was inspired by the oil and gas sector, but the direction of the company has changed over time. The business started with a patent within transformer technology.

Today, Zaptec has a product and system that is protected by its own patent. An important patent is a charging station for electric cars that can be controlled to switch between the phases in a 3-phase electrical installation (Zaptec Pro).

– Zaptec has several patents that protect the core of our innovative solutions, and we are working on applying for patents for new ideas. We do this to protect our ideas, but also to publish and register the innovations in the event that others should patent something similar.

Protection is becoming increasingly important

Today, Zaptec is in a market with an increasing degree of competition for products and services. They emphasize that it is important for their competitiveness and further success that the products are unique and protected through patents.

- It is also important to know the patent situation around the product well, so that they can operate freely and invest in products and technology that do not infringe on the rights of others.
