National Pile Croppers is pleased to announce that it has been granted copyright for the company’s name, logo and title with regards to pile cropping and all related services in the U.S. The granting of copyright registration is recognition of the role the company has played in developing and refining hydraulic pile croppers, the importance of its product range and most importantly, the increasing awareness in North America of National Pile Croppers.

National Pile Croppers is proud to announce that the company has successfully registered “NPC” and “National Pile Croppers” and copyrighted its award-winning equipment for ten years in the U.S. Under Class 7 Pile Cropper and Class 37, National Pile Croppers’ copyright covers the installation and repair services, namely installation and repair of pile croppers; mining extraction, oil and gas drilling; rental of construction and building machinery; rental of pile croppers; information, advisory and consultancy services in relation to the services.

“You have to prove the words are that well known that they can only be associated with you in your field(s) of application,” said NPC director of business development, Ian English. “We are incredibly proud to be granted the U.S. copyright as it recognises how synonymous National Pile Croppers is to the piling and pile cropping industry in the U.S.”

Similar NPC registrations are now pending in various countries throughout the world following the overseas launch of the NPC product range several years ago. Copyright was granted in the U.K. in 2024
