Is a baking mat patented?

Short answer: specific designs of a baking mat have been patented many times, but "a baking mat" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What our index shows
  • 182 US and WO patent publications since 2000 have a title matching “baking matsheettray” or a close variant (our index of 9.7 million patent families; one publication per family).
  • Among the 58 best keyword matches we examined, 24 were published in 2020 or later, and the earliest was published in 2001.
  • Most frequent assignees in those matches: DOW SILICONES CORP (3), AMERICAN PAN COMPANY (2), ARCELIK AS (2), PREHKEYTEC GMBH (2).
  • Most common patent classes (CPC subclasses): C08L (20), C08G (18), A21B (13), C08K (11).

Counts come from keyword matching on titles and abstracts, so they are indicative, not a legal count. Some matches are different products that share a word.

What this means for your idea

Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a baking mat been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Kitchen gadgets are a crowded, mature field; novelty usually sits in one specific mechanism, the material, or how two familiar functions are combined.
