Patents and Intellectual Property

Constant product review and innovation are a cornerstone of our recognition at the forefront of applied magnetic technology relating to magnetic lifting, magnetic clamping and work-holding and magnetic safety devices. At Serpent & Dove, we recognise that standing still, relying on old-generation ideas and designs, or selling copy-cat products, are all routes to dead-ends.

That's why 'Finding ways with Magnets' is Serpent & Dove's by-line. We like to find ways to overcome problems - using lifting magnets, magnetic separators and magnetic work holders and clamps. Patents applied for or pending (at November 2012) include improved, lightweight and more flexible Pilot Ladder Magnets and new Switchable Pilot Ladder Magnets
