September 23, 2020 – St. George, UT — Adapy, Inc., a pioneering company in adaptive technology, is proud to announce that it was awarded a crucial grant from the Mi Casa Resource Center’s ProBoPat (Pro Bono Patent) Program during its early stages. This grant played a pivotal role in helping Adapy secure a patent for its innovative Smart Mobility System, safeguarding the company’s groundbreaking intellectual property.

The Mi Casa Resource Center’s ProBoPat program connects under-resourced inventors with volunteer patent professionals, offering essential support that would otherwise be financially out of reach. The program is designed to foster small business growth and innovation by removing barriers to patent protection, particularly for low-income inventors. This invaluable support allowed Adapy to protect its Smart Mobility System, which integrates and automates various adaptive equipment like wheelchair lifts, cranes, and transfer seats through a single smartphone-controlled platform.

Empowering Innovation Through Strategic Partnerships

In collaboration with Lowenstein Sandler, LLP, a distinguished law firm known for its expertise in patent law, Adapy successfully navigated the complex patent process. The legal team at Lowenstein Sandler provided pro bono services, guiding Adapy through the steps necessary to secure a patent, which has been instrumental in protecting the company’s unique technology from imitation and ensuring its continued market leadership.

“The Mi Casa Resource Center’s support, combined with the expertise of Lowenstein Sandler, LLP, has been a game-changer for Adapy,” said Aaron Werner, CEO of Adapy, Inc. “Securing our patent was critical to establishing our presence in the adaptive technology market, and it laid the foundation for the innovations that are now transforming the lives of individuals with limited mobility.”

Strengthening the Future of Adaptive Technology

The Mi Casa Resource Center has been a crucial advocate for inventors in underserved communities, providing access to patent resources that empower small businesses to thrive. By securing this grant, Adapy was able to focus on enhancing its Smart Mobility System without the financial strain typically associated with patenting new technologies. This strategic move has allowed Adapy to continue developing its platform, which aims to bring greater independence and ease to individuals who rely on adaptive equipment.
