Klipsta Pty Limited, commonly known as Klipsta, is a private Australian accessories brand founded in 2019. Its main business location is in NSW 2031, Australia, with products designed in Australia and some manufactured locally. The company was founded by Kelly Walker, who sought to create solutions for everyday frustrations like lost hats.
Klipsta specializes in designing and selling "simple and clever products designed to make everyday life easier" for individuals on the go. Their product lines include magnetic HAT Clips for securing hats, SPEX Clips for glasses, FLIP Bag Hooks, and versatile FLEX Clips and LINK connector clips, which use strong magnets and flexible loops to attach items to bags, strollers, and other personal belongings.
In terms of patent litigation, Klipsta Pty Limited has a track record of one case as a plaintiff and zero as a defendant in the provided data. This single case is an Inter Partes Review (IPR) initiated at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Klipsta's posture is that of an operating company challenging the validity of a patent, rather than asserting a portfolio.
The notable case is Klipsta Pty Limited v. Lindsay Albanese (IPR2025-00346), filed on December 19, 2024, at the PTAB. In this proceeding, Klipsta Pty Limited is challenging U.S. Patent No. 10,413,047, which pertains to a "Hat holder" design, aligning directly with Klipsta's core product offerings. Lindsay Albanese is identified as the patent owner.
