Soar22 Advances Market Deployment of Proprietary Patent Technology through Partnership with Textile Trading Company

Soar22 Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Mobara City, Chiba Prefecture; Representative Director: Koreki Nakamura; hereinafter 'Soar22') has reached a basic agreement with Takajou Nagoya Co., Ltd. (hereinafter 'Takajou Nagoya') to establish a business partnership aimed at licensing and expanding the deployment of Soar22's patented technology, the 'Patent-Pending Pocket'.

Going forward, Soar22 will actively promote market adoption of its patented technology by leveraging Takajou Nagoya's strong proposal capabilities and distribution network within the apparel industry. Both companies will utilize a certification label system featuring patent numbers to visually affirm the value of genuine licensed products, aiming to expand brand adoption.

Background of the Partnership

Soar22 has focused on addressing everyday storage challenges in clothing by developing pocket structures that balance usability and aesthetic appeal. As a result, the company has developed and holds the proprietary patented technology known as the 'Patent-Pending Pocket'.

However, to widely deploy intellectual property technologies into the market, collaboration with partners is essential—not only for technological superiority but also for brand proposals, product development, mass production, and distribution.

Given this context, Soar22 has reached a basic agreement with Takajou Nagoya, a textile trading company with extensive networks across the apparel industry, to form a strategic partnership. Soar22 views this collaboration as a crucial step toward the 'social implementation of intellectual property'—connecting its IP to actual products and commercial supply chains.

About the Patented 'Patent-Pending Pocket' Technology

The 'Patent-Pending Pocket' is a core intellectual property technology developed by Soar22 to balance everyday storage functionality with the silhouette of clothing.

Traditionally, enhancing pocket functionality often compromises the appearance or silhouette of garments. This technology pursues an optimal balance among storage capacity, ease of use, and design aesthetics through a unique structural design.

Key features include:

- Practicality

Designed for daily use scenarios involving smartphones and small accessories, this pocket structure prioritizes storage capacity and ease of access.

- Design Compatibility

The structure minimizes impact on the garment's outer silhouette while preserving the clothing's inherent design integrity. Its ability to harmonize fashion and functionality is a key advantage.

- Visual Verification of Authenticity

A certification label bearing the patent number makes it easy to identify genuine licensed products. This enables clear communication of the technology's origin and legitimacy to both adopting brands and consumers.

- Scalability

Designed for deployment via a licensing model, the technology can be adopted by various apparel brands and across different product categories. Future plans include expansion to multiple brands and product lines.

Future Collaboration Activities

Under this partnership, Soar22 and Takajou Nagoya will leverage their respective strengths as follows:

- Soar22: Licensing of the 'Patent-Pending Pocket' technology, technical support, and issuance of certification labels

- Takajou Nagoya: Technology proposals to apparel brands, support for integration, and coordination of product development workflows

- Joint Efforts: Visualizing the value of genuine licensed products using patent labels and promoting them in the market

- Gradual expansion of product lines adopting the technology

- Collaboration toward establishing domestic production systems

- Deployment across multiple brands using the licensing model

Soar22 will begin cultivating its patent-based licensing business as a new revenue stream following this basic agreement. In the future, the company aims to expand beyond the apparel sector into other product categories and overseas markets, broadening the potential applications of its intellectual property.
