WiperFill™ Awarded 9 Millionth Patent Number by U.S. Patent and Trademark Office

JUPITER, Fla., April 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- WiperFill™, an innovative inline-underhood system that converts rain water (or other liquids near the windshield area) into wiper fluid or antifreeze, announced today that it received the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO) prestigious 9 millionth patent.

Designed to eliminate the need to manually refill the wiper fluid reservoir, WiperFill™ collects water at the base of the windshield and directs it into its custom mixing device to produce clean, spot-free cleaning and antifreeze fluid.

"We live in a world of advanced automotive technology and automated processes, but we still make drivers fill their own wiper fluid," said Matt Carroll, president of WiperFill Holdings. "WiperFill™ was designed to provide a convenient, more sustainable, hassle-free process to ensure your wiper fluid never runs out."

The system is made up of a fluid collection point placed at the base of the windshield and a multi-chamber mixing cartridge that utilizes wiper fluid and/or antifreeze concentrates to achieve the right saturation level. The cartridge of concentrated fluid is designed to last up to one year, being replaced during normal maintenance, such as an oil change.

In addition, WiperFill™ offers environmental benefits, including:

• eliminating the need for hundreds of millions of gallons of filtered water annually used in the bottling and OEM reservoir filling process annually,
• utilizing WiperFill's reusable and rechargeable cartridges which replaces the single use plastic bottles currently consumed every year,
• reducing carbon emissions by making shipments up to 35 times more efficient per load when compared to traditional wiper fluid products.

"Our product not only makes lives easier, but it can change the cost structure for wiper fluid, reducing shipping and production costs, while creating a more sustainable solution," said Carroll. "Our prototype has helped us to refine the system even further and we hope to find the right development partner to help us bring it to market."

WiperFill filed for a patent on its system in March 2013. Patent number 9 million was granted on April 7, 2015, and will be presented to Carroll at an event held at the USPTO on April 10 celebrating the 225^th anniversary of the first patent act.
