EASYCARE PATENTS

EasyCare has devoted a considerable amount of resources to intellectual property. This effort has been spent for the benefit of EasyCare and our dealer network in two areas:

1) Ensuring our designs do not infringe on the patent rights of others:

Extensive patent searches have been performed and are performed when new products are introduced.

2) Protecting the unique ideas that make the EasyCare hoof boots work so well:
