Hornady Granted Patents for RFID Safes

Hornady has been granted two utility patents related to the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology used in the company’s premium line of RAPiD Safes. The firm first introduced the RFID approach—which ensures the gun is secured from unauthorized use, yet provides high-speed access in a life-threatening situation—to its firearm lock boxes in 2013. “The first patent [No. 9,530,266] established the use of RFID technology in a firearm storage device while the second patent [No. 10,233,687] strengthens the company’s claims on the first.” said Tom Delattre, Hornady Security Products coordinator.
