Groundbreaking Patent Issued for Crossbows
Krysse AS, a Norwegian company, announces a revolutionary breakthrough in newly patented cam-assist technology that can be applied across various crossbow platforms.
“On July 28 of this year, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued Krysse AS the Thalberg Patent,” stated Krysse AS CEO Petter Hatlem. “The patent makes bow handling, specifically crossbow handling, significantly easier for everyone. Essentially, it will eliminate crossbow anxiety and opens the door for a wider range of crossbow shooters.”
In addition to the handling of the crossbow, the Thalberg Patent also allows the end-user to:
- Cock the crossbow at a lower starting poundage, then take the bow to full weight with the touch of a button
- Just as easily take the full weight off the crossbow with the touch of a button
- Practice shooting more often with ease
- And it allows crossbow dealers to demonstrate their complete product line safely
“Crossbow popularity has exploded over the years,” explained Pete Crawford, President of Clear Track Consulting. “But other than crank systems that are very high priced, no one has eliminated the difficulty of cocking, handling and de-cocking today’s extremely high poundage crossbows — this system does this easily.”
Crawford continued, “Working with Petter at Krysse AS, and Mike Oropallo, patent attorney at Barclay Damon, the difficult patent process has been much easier to navigate, and we look forward to more exciting continuations of this patent family.”
Hatlem added, “We are also exploring additional industry-wide application options with this technology. Everything from licensing opportunities, to partnering with established manufacturing companies, to building this brand ourselves,” he continued. “Getting this patent issued, along with the previous acquisition of the Hudkins patent, puts us in a great position to market this technology to the archery industry.”
