Intellectual property & compliance
Certifications & patents.
Two decades of tooling and product development leave a paper trail — registered designs and patents across four jurisdictions, plus the material compliance your market needs. Here is what we can document.
Patents & registered designs: 250, filed in China, the US, the EU (EUIPO) and Hong Kong. Compliance: RoHS and REACH documentation available. Confidentiality: your custom artwork and tooling are yours, NDA on request. Verification: specific patent / registration numbers and compliance certificates on request.
Patents & registered designs
OSHID holds 250 patents and registered designs covering keycap products and tooling. Filings span multiple jurisdictions:
| Jurisdiction | Type |
|---|---|
| China (国家知识产权局) | Design patents (外观设计) & utility models (实用新型) |

| Hong Kong | Registered Designs (Chapter 522) |
Material compliance
For keycaps entering regulated markets, we can supply materials meeting RoHS (restriction of hazardous substances) and REACH (EU chemical) requirements, with documentation for your order. Tell us your target market and we confirm the applicable certificates.
Your design stays yours
OSHID's registered designs protect our proprietary profiles and products — not your artwork. Custom designs, tooling and files you commission are treated as your property and covered by NDA on request. How we handle confidentiality is part of the vetting checklist in how to choose a keycap manufacturer.
