The new patents in Europe and China add to current patents held in the U.S. for the same telescoping sunshade design, as well as other patents the company holds in the U.S. for their arched roller design and automated bimini product. SureShade also states that there are other pending U.S. and International patents for their marine sunshade designs.

“With patent protection in Europe and China SureShade is now poised to capture a significant share of the future global growth in the European and Asia Pacific boating markets,” said Dana Russikoff, business leader and co-founder at SureShade. “Boat builders and dealers in these regions can easily add our sunshade systems to their lines as factory or aftermarket installations, giving clients worldwide a better boat shade solution.”

SureShade notes that they are already working with many international boat builders, including Delta Powerboats, Sessa Marine and Galeon in Europe, and Grand Banks, Outer Reefs and Cheoy Lee in China. Their portfolio currently includes shades now installed on over 35 brands in 15 countries.
