HBN Shoe Utility Patent issued by the USPTO July 7, 2020
Covers Key Insolia Foundation Technologies Through 2038

All Insolia Technologies are inventions for footwear applications. We focus on key foot health and body comfort issues to identify the optimal foot position, alignment, support, or flexibility for the specific shoe construction. All Insolia Technologies are based on the structure of the foot and the biomechanics of gait (how we walk). The result: components and designs containing unique formulas and shapes for the inside of the shoe. 

We obtain one or more utility patents on all Insolia Products and Technologies that we bring to market, and currently hold 31 Utility Patents covering the following Countries for both Manufacturing and Selling: United States, Europe, China, Japan, and other markets. Another seven utility patents are pending and in the acceptance process.

If you become one of our customers, we will issue you an Intellectual Property License, Supply & Distribution Agreement so that you are fully protected with your use of any Insolia Product Technologies. 

Finally, we have a global network of local patent attorneys who assist us, and you, in the event of any potential infringement.
