Patents and awards
One registered utility model, one award, and four older filings that are no longer in force. Every status below was checked against the public registers on 2026-08-11 rather than copied from our own 2018 material.
Registered utility model
- Number
- TWM545145U
- Title
- Elastic ribbon having extensible electronic device
- Filed
- 2017-03-20
- Holder
- 富鉅紡織科技股份有限公司 — Registered to LiTex under its Chinese legal name
This covers the construction behind the Wired Conductive Woven Tape: an elastic ribbon carrying an electronic device that stretches with it.
A Taiwan utility model runs ten years from its filing date and must be maintained. We have not published a renewal confirmation for this record, and its sibling below lapsed for unpaid fees, so this page states what the register shows and no more. Ask us for the current certificate if the right matters to your decision.

- Awarded to
- 富鉅紡織科技股份有限公司 / LiTex Textile & Technology Co., Ltd
- Dated
- September 2014
The award was for the heating textile specifically, and specifically for it not being carbon fibre — which is the same argument the comparison page makes with numbers.
Earlier filings, no longer in force
Our 2018 catalog and website list these as issued or pending. That was true when it was written and is not true now. They are kept here because they are part of the record, not because they protect anything today.
Some of these older filings were made in the name of Fu-Biau Hsu (許富標) as an individual rather than the company. We have not confirmed which.
