A license plate assembly includes a backing and a flexible license plate. The flexible license plate includes plural layers, including a licensing-information layer, in which ink is deposited in the form of alphanumeric characters on an underlying one of the plural layers, the alphanumeric characters providing license information. The flexible license plate optionally includes one or more holograms, and/or watermarks, and/or QR-codes. The flexible license plate is disposed on the backing, which extends beyond the perimeter of the flexible license plate, defining a marginal region. In some embodiments, plural indices are disposed in the marginal region to facilitate alignment of flexible license plate during installation thereof on a motor vehicle.

A vehicle registration mounting assembly and method includes a vehicle having a bumper with an outer surface. A panel has a front side, a back side and a perimeter edge and the panel is elongated from a first side edge to a second side edge. The panel is comprised of a plastic material, which is flexible to conform to contours of the outer surface of the bumper. An adhesive is positioned on the back side of the panel. The adhesive adheres the back side of the panel to the outer surface of the bumper. A plurality of identification indicia is positioned within a laminate formed by bonding of layers of the panel to identify an owner of the vehicle.

An autonomous flip-up license plate mount for motorcycles that improves the aesthetics of a motorcycle while ensuring a license plate is properly displayed during use of the motorcycle. The mount includes a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, an automatic pivoting mechanism, and a hinge mechanism. A first end of the first mounting plate is connected along the hinge mechanism. Additionally, the hinge mechanism is connected along a rear surface of the second mounting plate, allowing for relative rotation about a main axis of the hinge mechanism. The automatic pivoting mechanism is a motorized system used to rotate the second mounting plate about the hinge mechanism. Accordingly, the automatic pivoting mechanism is operatively coupled between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate. Thus, activation of the automatic pivoting mechanism positions the mount into either a functional configuration or a collapsed configuration.

Digital license plates having a range of physical and digital antitheft features are disclosed. Disengagement of the digital license plate from the vehicle triggers at least one of a wireless theft communication signal and the internal theft status indicator. Input of security credentials can prevent triggering the internal theft status indicator and disablement of the digital license plate.

A vehicle messaging system is provided. The vehicle messaging system includes a message panel configured to join the vehicle. The message panel includes a secondary power source in addition to the primary power source provided by the vehicle. The message panel includes a thermostat, a heating portion, and a cooling portion that together maintain the message panel at a pre-determined temperature. The message panel also includes alert systems, protection panels, and an image capturing device.

Adjustable license plate brackets for vehicles comprising a first bracket element that is secured to a vehicle; a second bracket element having an upper end to be connected to a license plate and a lower end disposed upon the first end of the first bracket element; and a third bracket element having an upper end to be connected to a license plate and a lower end disposed upon the second end of the first bracket element. The second bracket element and the third bracket element are configured to be connected to the first bracket element at a plurality of positions, implemented using an elongated aperture with a plurality of notches into which a bracket element connector can be inserted, respective so that a distance between the upper ends of the second and the third bracket elements varies to accommodate license plates with different sizes.

A display assembly for resting upon a support surface, the display assembly comprising a main body having self-supporting rigidity and substantially disposed in a first plane, the main body having an upper end and a lower end, a collapsible pocket, moveable between a collapsed configuration and an open configuration, the collapsible pocket having four side walls and a bottom wall wherein at least one of the bottom wall and the four side walls includes a fold line, wherein the collapsible pocket is formed of a material having a different thickness than the main body, and a coupler interconnecting the collapsible pocket and the main body, wherein the collapsible pocket in the open configuration and the main body are self-supporting in an upright orientation with the first plane being substantially perpendicular to the support surface.

A plate holder for holding a license plate includes: a holder base having, on a first side, a contact surface, which extends along a contact plane and on which a license plate is rests in a position arranged on the plate holder; and two guide rails, which are arranged on the holder base and extend parallel to each other and between which the license plate can be slid in an insertion direction for arrangement on the contact surface, the license plate being held between the guide rails in the position arranged on the plate holder, wherein the holder base has, on a second side facing away from the contact surface, a placement surface, which extends parallel to the contact plane, is spaced apart from the contact surface in a vertical direction pointing perpendicularly to the contact plane, and can be placed on an object to arrange the plate holder.

An autonomous flip-up license plate mount for motorcycles that improves the aesthetics of a motorcycle while ensuring a license plate is properly displayed during use of the motorcycle. The mount includes a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, an automatic pivoting mechanism, and a hinge mechanism. A first end of the first mounting plate is connected along the hinge mechanism. Additionally, the hinge mechanism is connected along a rear surface of the second mounting plate, allowing for relative rotation about a main axis of the hinge mechanism. The automatic pivoting mechanism includes a servomotor and a control linkage. The servomotor is adjacently mounted to the first mounting plate with the control linkage being mechanically engaged in between the servomotor and the second mounting plate. Activation of the servomotor positions the mount into either a functional configuration or a collapsed configuration.
