Durham, NC (June 15, 2017) – TriggerPoint®, the market leader in foam rolling and movement products, today announced a license agreement with Performance Solutions, LLC. Under the terms, TriggerPoint will have the right to manufacture one-piece, two-piece, and multiple-piece foam rollers under all of Performance Solutions’ existing United States patents and multiple patents pending.
“As a company who has been battling counterfeiters and violators of our intellectual property for the past two years, we are pleased to acknowledge and license the Performance Solutions patents,” said Ryan Cruthirds, Vice-President of Implus’ fitness division. “We are excited to partner with Performance Solutions. By combining their expansive patent estate with TriggerPoint’s intellectual property, we will continue to be the innovation engine in the foam rolling space.”
Performance Solutions initially filed for many of its foam roller patents in 2006, when it launched its Thera-Roll® product line. When three of these patents recently issued, Performance Solutions thought it prudent to approach the market leader first.
“We spent over 10 years securing our current patent estate. As soon as the PTO provided us with notices of allowance, we immediately contacted Implus,” said Kipp Dye, MSPT, founder and Manager of Performance Solutions. “With TriggerPoint acknowledging our intellectual property, we will continue to vigorously defend our patents in the marketplace.”
