I spent half my day on 1/17/07 with our patent attorney. We discussed several pending patent applications and several provisional patents that are now progressing toward applications. I really enjoy this side of business and if I had to change careers I would love to do something with patent law.
EasyCare has the following in the works.
1. EasyCare Comfort Pad System- The provisional patent work for the EasyCare Comfort Pad System was submitted several months ago and we are working on the application.
2. The EasyUp Buckle- The provisional patent work was submitted and we are now working on the application.
3. Hoof Boot Replaceable Sole System- The provisional patent work was submitted and we are now working on the application.
4. EasyCare is working on a new equine product that is going to be huge. Provisional Patent work for this new product is complete.
In addition to our current applications we discussed a potential competitors hoof boot that may hit the market soon. The product has been mentioned on several barefoot chat rooms and has a new "coming soon" website. After looking at our current patent applications and physically inspecting the new product (I have one) our patent attorney said the new product will be a clear violation of one of our patent applications. It will be interesting to see how everything unfolds but we will aggressively defend all IP owned and developed by EasyCare.
