Our Product Design Is Registered in Australia

The Panners Mate features a unique, purpose-built design developed from hands-on experience and practical testing. The Panners Mate delivers efficient material processing, minimal water use, and high gold recovery. To protect that originality, the design of The Panners Mate is officially registered in Australia with IP Australia.

What Is Protected by the Registered Design

Australian design registration protects the overall appearance of a product. For The Panners Mate, this includes the way its components are shaped, arranged, and configured to work together as a system.

The registered design covers features such as:

• The distinctive structure and layout of the unit

• The way the product assembles and operates as a complete tool

• The unique configuration that allows material to be processed efficiently

• The flat-pack format that integrates into the overall design

This protection confirms that The Panners Mate is original and legally recognised.

Why Design Registration Matters

Registering the design helps protect against imitation products that may look similar but lack the performance and durability of the genuine article.

For customers, it means:

• You’re buying the original, registered design

• The product has been properly developed and refined

• The layout and structure you’re using is intentional, tested, and protected

For us, it ensures we can keep improving the product while protecting the work already done.
