Hoist has teamed up with Targeted News Service, of Washington, US to reveal the latest inventions relevant to the factory crane and hoist industry.

Patent notifications will state, when available, the inventor, the US Patent Number, a summary from the US Patent and Trademark Office, an abstract of the invention, when it was issued and when the original patent was filed.

Regular in-depth patent articles in the printed publication have proved a popular addition to Hoist – and the new online patents news service will become a vital source of information for anyone in the industry wanting to keep up to date with the latest developments.
