The API lunchbox has been awarded trademark status by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The registration helps recognize API as the creator of the format and allows API to more effectively market the lunchbox frame, which can hold up to six of the popular 500 Series models. ‘This helps verify to our friends in the audio community that API is and always has been the creator of the lunchbox and the 500 Series format,’ confirms API President, Larry Droppa. ‘If you say “lunchbox”, it means the API lunchbox – with the build quality, reliability and longevity that are the hallmarks of every piece of API gear.’
API’s modular 500 Series of ourtboard units has found consistent favour in the recording market as the number of options available has grown. In response, API created the VPR Alliance to assist manufacturers to design units that are physically and electronically compatible with API racks.
The official trademark registration symbol provides API both product identity and protection when the lunchbox is mentioned in print or online.
