Is a screwdriver set patented?

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

What our index shows
  • 987 US and WO patent publications since 2000 have a title matching “screwdriver” or a close variant (our index of 9.7 million patent families; one publication per family).
  • Among the 350 best keyword matches we examined, 63 were published in 2020 or later, and the earliest was published in 2000.
  • Most frequent assignees in those matches: TOTSU KATSUYUKI (8), WERNER HERMANN WERA WERKE (4), YIH CHENG FACTORY CO LTD (4), HU BOBBY (4).
  • Most common patent classes (CPC subclasses): B25B (264), B25G (118), B25F (35), A61B (35).

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
