No, in fact, there are infinitely many Gömböc shapes. However, the overwhelming majority of these shapes could never be manufactured because these shapes are much too close to the sphere. Currently we manufacture two different shapes ( 8005 and 8205 ). Both are quite similar and have a substantial deviation from the sphere.
They could potentially get a design patent on each of the specific shapes they make and certainly on their name, but good luck on anything beyond that.
