LICENCE DEAL FOR FOLDING WHEEL PATENT, 2011
We’re delighted to announce that the patent for the Folding Wheel has been licensed to Maddak Incorporated, the largest manufacturer in the United States of Aids for Daily Living.
We are now working closely with Maddak to help develop a foldable wheelchair wheel product, set for public sale in September 2013.
We can’t wait to see it in the shops!
“This is an exciting moment for disabled people whose mobility has been restricted by large, cumbersome wheelchairs that cannot be folded down small enough to fit into cars or on planes. User feedback has been loud and clear that this type of innovation is much needed. The deal with Maddak paves the way for a product that will improve people’s lives.”
