Bottlelink^® is a Limited Liability Corporation developed in San Diego, California in 2007. Bottlelink^® was originally patented under a provisional patent during its first year of sales to determine whether it was a viable, needed product that would benefit from a design and utility patent. After nearly a year of sales, a design and utility patent were pursued by Bottlelink^® LLC.

Bottlelink^® , the product, provides a means for preventing objects from being dropped or thrown by a person either accidentally or intentionally. The primary targeted object is a baby’s bottle or sippy cup; but Bottlelink^® can secure other items such as toys as well. It easily connects to high chairs, car seats, strollers or wagons. It was recently featured in a “Favorite Baby Gear” section of Parent’s Magazine and on Parent’s.com as seen below.

 

Bottlelink^® was invented by Rene’ and Jeff Freeland of Poway, Calif. in 2006. Bottlelink^® LLC was developed in 2007. Rene’ is the CEO and Jeff is the CFO of Bottlelink^® LLC. Both also have full-time careers and are parents of Juliane Caroline, who is now three.
