InvestorNewsBreaks — MetAlert Inc. (MLRT) Receives EPO Notice of Allowance for First European GPS SmartSole Patent

MetAlert (OTC: MLRT), a pioneer in location-sensitive, health-monitoring devices and wearable technology products for remote patient monitoring, received a notice of allowance from the European Patent Office (“EPO”) for a new patent. This is the company’s first European utility patent in the GPS SmartSole family and its fifth patent granted around tracking and monitoring devices within footwear with particular protection on the insole format. According to the announcement, the patent covers a variety of ways to design, protect and manufacture GPS, cellular, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi monitoring electronic devices that are embedded inside an insole; it also covers the inductive charging unit. MetAlert management noted that the patent has a large number of claims and provides the opportunity to file additional divisional patents in the future, offering the company protection against competition as well as possibly opening up new, lucrative, licensing and partnership opportunities. “We have been working on this European patent for several years, and we were very pleased to hear the news about the patent allowance,” said MetAlert director Andrew Duncan in the press release. “The timing could not have been better as we continue to roll out new-generation GPS SmartSole products across Europe and North America. This new patent will provide us additional intellectual property protection in the major Western markets as well as key markets in Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.”
