MetAlert (OTC: MLRT), a pioneer in location-sensitive, health-monitoring devices and wearable technology products for remote patient monitoring, is partnering with Global Safe Tracks, a German-based IT/GPS tracking company. MetAlert signed a three-year OEM licensing agreement with the company to manufacture and distribute its GPS SmartSole technology in Europe. According to the announcement, Global Safe Tracks will manufacture a modified version of the GPS SmartSole that features 2G technology to serve as a backup for 4G technology in locations where 4G coverage is not available. The European version will be marketed and distributed under the SafeSole brand. The announcement indicated that Global Safe Tracks will continue to market and distribute the 4G Cat M1 GPS SmartSole plus version that is made in the United States. The agreement also stipulates that MetAlert maintains the rights to distribute the OEM 4G/2G version under the GPS SmartSole trademark for its own distribution purposes across other countries. The company noted that this licensing OEM agreement is part of its strategic intellectual property licensing program, which leverages the new GPS SmartSole patent allowance issued by the European Patent Office and has resulted in an estimated $1.4 million in licensing revenues. “We are excited to enter into this new agreement with Global Safe Tracks who have been a long-term distribution partner of our GPS SmartSoles in Germany,” said MetAlert director Andrew Duncan in the press release. “The agreement is part of our strategy to increase our production capacity and ramp up sales and distribution on a global basis. We expect to continue to leverage our intellectual property in the growing $270 million ‘smart shoe’ market and explore other OEM and licensing opportunities as we continue to roll out our SmartSole line of wearable technology.”
