  • Patent number: 12103472
    Abstract: License plate frames typically have four screw holes that receive screws to secure the license plate and the license plate frame to the vehicle. The current invention allows a user to apply cover clips to hide the screws. The license plate frame is designed to work with the cover clips, so the cover clips will only work on the specially designed license plate bracket. The cover clips are slid down onto the license plate brackets on the bottom of the license plate frame, and they are slid up on the license plate brackets on the top of the license plate frame. The cover clip is a one-piece solution with no “moving” parts other than the bowing outwards when forced onto the license plate brackets. The cover clip is applied with force in a parallel direction to the license plate frame, sliding down or up onto the license plate brackets.
