BEND, Ore. — Lora DiCarlo has been awarded U.S. patent number 10,993,873 for the air pressure field stimulation technology used in its Baci and Osé products, the company announced today.
The company’s flagship device, Osé, combines "a G-spot massager and clitoral mouth to stimulate internal and external pleasure points simultaneously. Baci is a handheld clitoral stimulator that aims to re-create the sensation of stroking and sucking through microrobotic technology," noted a rep.
Lora DiCarlo has "a six-person, cross-functional engineering team composed of mechanical, electrical and manufacturing engineers, as well as an industrial designer," the rep explained. "The company’s intellectual property portfolio includes applications for 21 utility patents in the U.S, Europe and China; four of which have been granted to date. Patents-pending include biomimicry, pressure-wave generation, micro-robotics, mechatronic controls, electro-magnetic propulsion and multi-compliance materials."
Sextech intellectual property attorney Maxine Lynn Barasch noted, "It is only relatively recently that the sex tech industry has become more active in obtaining patent protection for new inventions, and Lora DiCarlo sets an example in making the practice a priority. I am pleased to be the lead attorney who assisted Lora DiCarlo’s parent company in obtaining a patent on air pressure field stimulation device technology used in their products, Osé and Baci."
The rep explained Lora DiCarlo's proprietary air pressure stimulation technology originated from a research partnership with Oregon State University (OSU) College of Engineering, which began in 2017. Lead investigator Dr. John Parmigiani, Research Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering at OSU and Director of the OSU Prototype Development Lab and "the power of OSU’s Tier 1 Research University that ranks as the No. 4 graduate robotics program in the United States, played a key role in helping Lora DiCarlo’s team develop their proprietary technologies."
Lora H. DiCarlo, company founder, CEO and lead inventor, noted, "Creating new technology inventions takes patience, persistence and teamwork. I can only thank the professors and students at Oregon State University, our talented engineering team and industry-leading sextech intellectual property attorney, Maxine Lynn Barasch, for the hard work and brilliant ideas that resulted in the gold standard for new inventions — a patent from the US Patent and Trademark Office."
Global Wholesale Director Michelle Harris also expressed excitement for the achievement.
"Being granted our pressure field stimulation device patent emphasizes the unique inventions used in Lora DiCarlo’s two top-selling sextech devices, Osé 2 and Baci," Harris said. "This latest patent demonstrates our work to differentiate ourselves within the sexual wellness market, as well as our sophisticated engineering capabilities. We hope to achieve more worldwide growth in the near future as a result of these efforts."
