About Scangrip
Scangrip began in 1906 as a Danish tool manufacturer and has become Europe's leading maker of LED work lights — the lamps clipped to a car bonnet or a scaffold rather than screwed into a ceiling. It still trades on its Danish design heritage, and its line, "keep the light you love", is aimed at professionals who buy one lamp and expect to keep it for years.
Trademark record for Scangrip
The USPTO record for the Scangrip mark lists Scangrip A/S as the owner of record (serial number 79180507). A trademark is often held by a group company rather than the listed parent, so the registrant's name can differ from the owner named above.[2]
