SEATTLE - RPI, providers of personalized print services for businesses around the world, today announced that it has been granted a continuation in part (CIP) to its patent for the company’s state-of-the-art technology used in the production system in its Seattle facility. 

The patent now claims the company’s Universal Ordering System (UOS), which enables RPI to route customer orders to any of its production facilities or production partners.
