GMR Safety Stands Firm in Defending Its Patent Portfolio

March 13, 2025 – GMR Safety remains dedicated in its commitment to protecting its intellectual property and ensuring that the industry stakeholders are well informed about the ongoing patent infringement by Systems LLC, also known as Poweramp, McGuire, and DLM.  In July 2024, GMR Safety took decisive legal action by filing a lawsuit to halt Systems LLC’s continued infringement on its robust patent portfolio. As this case progresses through the court system, the company is committed to defending its rights vigorously and ensuring that all industry stakeholders fully understand the potential legal risks associated with purchasing and using The Systems LLC (Poweramp) UXL system. Companies considering patent-infringing alternatives to the Power Chock® system should carefully assess the risks of purchasing a product that could be subject to an injunction, potentially preventing its use and disrupting operations for an indefinite period. 

Customers can have full confidence that GMR Safety will maintain its high level of service and support, ensuring they remain equipped with the best safety solutions available. The company’s ongoing investment in research and development further reinforces its promise to offer reliable, high-performance products that stand the test of time. 

“Our patents are the result of years of dedicated research and development, and they ensure that our customers receive the highest standard in wheel restraint systems, emphasizes Frederic Cyr, Head of Innovation of GMR Safety. ‘’Protecting these innovations is paramount to us”.
