Happy Holidays!

🎄We wanted to offer you our "Absolutely Indispensable Patent Data" on Candles, Christmas decorations, and #Firecrackers. But, um, there isn't a single Czech patent or utility model related to candles. However, there is one festive topic that is much more patent-worthy!

🧯Fire-related technologies tell a much richer story. We identified 38 active patent families related to firefighters or fire safety, with patents and utility models clearly dominating.

💰 In the Czech Republic, we have: 7 patented fire extinguishers, 5 specialized fire hoses and nozzles, 3 protective clothing and equipment for firefighters, and 23 inventions in flame-retardant materials and fire-protection systems – which is the most active and dynamic category with a total valuation of $11,135,200! By comparison, patents in the field of actual fire extinguishers are worth only $103,000. 

So, to deliver the right #Christmas message: have a wonderful and peaceful holiday season, and beware of candles!
