| Counsel: | Firm: SCHAFFER IP LAW, LLC |
| 1st Invent: | Susan C. Whiteside (San Diego, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=2, M=0 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | In a method for using a tennis serve training aid of a type having a canister with an open top, the method comprises first securing a canister along an inside length of a tennis player''s forearm so that an open top of the canister is adjacent the tennis player''s palm. The tennis ball is then held within the tennis player''s hand adjacent the canister open top. The tennis player then raises the arm to which the canister is secured and performs a player service practice toss by tossing the tennis ball in the air so that it ascends to a peak and then falls downward. Importantly, and while keeping the arm raised, the player then catches the falling tennis ball through the open top so that the ball is retained within the canister. This process is repeated to build up muscle memory from the positive feedback of repeatedly tossing and then catching the tennis ball within the canister. |

| Counsel: | Atty: Richard A. Catalina, Jr. |
| 1st Invent: | Richard Hudec (Naples, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A system, method and process for product authentication and verification using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, blockchain technology (Hyperledger), and cryptography. A unique product identifier is generated for a unique individual product, incorporated into a data structure, and the data structure is recorded to a blockchain initiating an immutable record for the unique product identifier. An NFC tag is encoded with a tap-unique URL comprising the unique product identifier and a cryptographic output and affixed to the product. Each time the tag is tapped by a proximity coupling device, a web client operating on the proximity coupling device opens the URL whereupon the tag is verified using a cryptographic verification process and generating a verification result. The verification result is recorded on the blockchain ledger for the unique product identifier, thereby creating an immutable record of each tap interaction result. |
