Prepara Issued Utility Patent For Popular Salad Pod

Ridgefield Park, NJ — October 7, 2026: Freshlink Product Development, LLC dba Prepara, announced today that it has been issued U.S. Utility Patent No. 12,752,956 B2, further strengthening the company’s intellectual property protection for its Salad Pod food container and broader Prepara Pod Collection. The patent covers functional aspects of the Salad Pod’s distinctive construction, including its body configuration, side opening, and corresponding cover.

The new utility patent builds on the U.S. design patent Prepara secured for the Salad Pod in March. Since receiving that patent, the company has successfully taken action against products that closely replicate its design, including having copycat products removed from retail platforms.

“We have had strong success enforcing our Salad Pod design patent and protecting our products against copies in the marketplace,” said Michael Karyo, Senior Vice President of Prepara. “The issuance of this utility patent gives us an even stronger mechanism to protect and enforce our intellectual property and the unique features that distinguish the Prepara Pod Collection from other food storage products. We have invested significantly in developing products that bring something genuinely different to the category, and we will continue to actively protect that innovation.”
