EPTI has 4 Patents and 1 pending Patent.
Proprietary Rights and Technology
Our ability to compete is dependent in part upon our proprietary rights and technology. We rely on a combination of trademark, copyright, trade secret and patent laws in the United States and globally as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology and our brands and maintain programs to protect and enforce our rights. These laws and contractual provisions, however, provide only limited protection of our proprietary rights and technology, which include confidential information and trade secrets that we attempt to protect through confidentiality and nondisclosure provisions in our agreements. We typically seek to protect our confidential information and trade secrets through these contractual provisions for the terms of the applicable agreement and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for some negotiated period of time following termination of the agreement. Listed below are the patents currently held by or submitted by EPT:

Also, EPT has filed a patent application (14/945,648 ) in the U.S. The pending patent application covers systems and methods for shipping liquid using multiple bladders placed on a non-slip mat and oriented in a manner such that the seams of the bladders are aligned parallel to the sides of the shipping container (for example, the seams can be touching the sides of the container). This pending patent application makes up the underlying technology around our new BIG Red LIQUIRIDE™ container.
In addition to patents, EPT has trademarks protecting the names of many of its products. The trademarks include BIG Red Flexitank®, EPT Wine-Pak, and BIG Red LIQUIRIDE™.
