US Patent Issued to TOYOTA JIDOSHA on March 31 for "Die casting device and molding method" (Japanese Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 31 -- United States Patent no. 12,589,536, issued on March 31, was assigned to TOYOTA JIDOSHA K.K. (Toyota, Japan).

"Die casting device and molding method" was invented by Hiroshi Kamata (Toyota, Japan).
