""With sustainability becoming an increasing concern for manufacturers, the Vax ev shows just what can be achieved when young designers are encouraged to think creatively and push the boundaries of product design," said Paul Bagwell, Director of NPD at Vax. "It's so important that manufacturers such as ourselves support young British designers like Jake, as they are the key to this country's future success"".

"I have tried to find out if, how and where the IP is protected, without success. Maybe its too soon? 'Jake Tyler' and 'Vax-ev' don't come up in an IPO webpage search. Nor in a search of Loughborough university's website. I'd have thought that Loughborough and Vax are savvy enough to have taken the appropriate steps to put patent and design protections in place".
