TECHNOLOGY LICENSING

On February 17, 2009, US Patent 7,490,416 was granted for running shoes with Power Bounce cushioning.  With successful completion of trial marketing of its prototype shoes, the Power Bounce Shoe Company shifted its focus from selling shoes to licensing its technology.  It is anticipated that licensing to one or more running shoe manufacturers will be the quickest route to bringing the benefits of Power Bounce to the largest number of runners.  For information on licensing opportunities, contact Herb Townsend at herbtown@msn.com.
