Is a vacuum sealer patented?

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

What our index shows
  • 562 US and WO patent publications since 2000 have a title matching “vacuum seal” or a close variant (our index of 9.7 million patent families; one publication per family).
  • Among the 282 best keyword matches we examined, 97 were published in 2020 or later, and the earliest was published in 2000.
  • Most frequent assignees in those matches: SUNBEAM PRODUCTS INC (14), TILIA INT INC (10), APPLIED MATERIALS INC (7), BONSEN ELECTRONICS LTD (4).
  • Most common patent classes (CPC subclasses): B65B (127), B65D (70), B29C (28), F16J (19).

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 vacuum sealer 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.
