Single Spine Ringless Binder demonstration

Should I use a notebook or binder for college?

This is a question we should not ask. Unfortunately, Ever present Ring Binders do not offer the utility most students are looking for. Blogs are full of discussions about the most comfortable arrangement everybody is looking for. On the TOP of their Wish List is No doubt a “Ring-less Binder”. The ribs, Pardon, Rings of the Dinosaurs Rex of the office world are always in the way of fingers trying to write or reach the opposite page and everybody wants to get rid of them.

We think we have a solution to their dreams. In the form of a real Ringless Binder.

What we would like to recommend? Shamelessly our own design. Ringless Binder.

Ring-less Multi binder demonstration — Ring-less Multi binder with two spines and up to 350 pages

Rings are replaced with flexible ties. The spine is eliminated. As well as 80% of the material used to assemble the Ring-binder. The poisonous Vinyl Covers are gone. Finally, you can use an Eco-friendly binder.

It is a simple sheet of tear-proof paper with ties cut from the covers. It keeps together almost any number of pages. If You need a zippered portfolio you may use this binder and insert it like any notebook.

So finally here is the real Notebook/Binder in One. In our Shop.

Try One. Certainly is not going to cost you a fortune, especially compared with Ring binders.

Friedrich Soennecken inventor of the Ring Binder should certainly wake up from his well-deserved final rest knowing that finally there is something/ somebody good enough to challenge his invention “Ring-binder” 133 years long reign in every office on the earth.

To my surprise, the new solution comes not in form of a complicated mechanism but as a single, flexible sheet of material cut a certain way. All rings and metal parts are eliminated. And it works. There is no sticking-out spine always taking the same space on the shelf even if empty. The New Ring-Less Binder is flexible and quite pleasant to handle, the same as the rest of this new family serving the same binding functions.

The Challenger has no worldwide ambitions currently trying to find a licensee for his invention in the U.S. and then eventually in the E.U.

This is not the first time the Reign of the Ring is challenged. There are numerous challenges to its rule sponsored by many companies. None of them were successful, lingering on the fringe of the Office market mostly due to the fact that they introduce their own sets of problems.

In the U.S. there is an additional problem with the office market dominated by very few big players with immense financial resources not taking any risks when it comes to the introduction of a product competing with their well-established best sellers.

To make things more palatable for inventors the 2011 Leahy–Smith America Invents Act effectively makes U.S. patents worthless and unenforceable by a small player not having financial resources to finance legal challenges. Leahy-Smith’s act sponsored by Big Tech effectively enables “Efficient Infringement” practiced by already established companies barring entry to the market for eventual startups/competition. Introduced by this legislation PTAB (Patent Trial and Appeal Board ) enjoys well-deserved fame as a ” Patent killing squad” invalidating by own admission 84% of all challenged patents. The effect: Invention exodus to more promising lands already caught politicians’ attention in Congress. The problem is that the incoming Biden administration is already (11/29/20) hiring people from Big Tech with a cozy relationship with the Obama White House.
