Brand History & Trademark Analysis

Timothy S. Leatherman and Steve Berliner founded Leatherman Tool Group in July 1983, selling the first PST (Pocket Survival Tool) that same year. Leatherman received his first US patent in 1980 after eight years of prototyping. The brand has avoided the level of genericisation that affected earlier tool brands.
