Patent and Trademark Portfolio
SmartTray® International, LLC (“SmartTray”) pioneered patented Personal Electronic Device (PED) holders for commercial aviation in 2011. United Airlines was the first to license SmartTray’s technology in 2014. Today, SmartTray holds 20 granted patents covering a wide range of integrated PED holder solutions for passenger seats and tray tables across aviation, rail, bus, automotive, and marine transportation. SmartTray PED holders enable hands-free use of smartphones and tablets, delivering superior ergonomics, fatigue-free comfort, and a better in-flight entertainment experience. Positioned within easy reach and direct sight of each passenger, SmartTray solutions improve customer satisfaction and build stronger loyalty. Replacing conventional tray tables with multi-function SmartTray tables provides the lowest-cost upgrade path to enhance passenger seating in a BYOD environment. Most installations can be completed in just a few hours—across an entire aircraft, bus, or railcar—without vehicle downtime, resulting in significant cost savings. SmartTray is a privately owned company. For licensing and strategic partnership opportunities, please contact: info@thesmarttray.com.
