MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541021130 A) filed by Lyk Athleisurewear, Mysore, Karnataka, on March 8, 2025, for 'a magnet incorporated sole assembly and footwear thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Vyasa Murthy Arun Kumar; and Shivaprasad Eregowda.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A magnet incorporated sole assembly (100) and footwear (200) thereof is disclosed in the present invention. The sole assembly (100) includes a midsole region having at least one magnet chamber (140) housing a first magnet (150) and a second magnet (160) arranged with like poles facing each other across a pre-determined gap (170). Upon application of vertical load during walking or running, the gap reduces and generates a repulsive magnetic force that resists compression of the sole assembly (100). The repulsive force exhibits a non-linear force-displacement response, thereby providing adaptive cushioning and energy return. The magnets are configured to remain non-contacting under normal operational loads, reducing mechanical wear and material fatigue. The invention provides improved shock absorption, progressive load resistance, enhanced durability, and sustained rebound performance compared to conventional foam-based cushioning systems."
