Much of the work put into FriXion centers around Intellectual Property. We are in a very strong position with patents and licensing allowing us to not only move forward ourselves, but to extend that umbrella of support to those third parties that develop their hardware and software experiences for the FriXion platform. It’s a huge incentive and everyone here, including the IP owners themselves, are very excited to finally see some big innovation in this space through the tools we’re making available.

We’re not surprised to see this sentiment though, it perfectly illustrates the “old guard” mentality that has permeated this space for so long that has ultimately benefited no one.

Seth does go into some more detail about this in other interviews and podcasts, you can check them out at:

Well according to Seth, a FriXion co-founder, FriXion does have enough patents and licenses to operate the adult social platform. He told me FriXion is licensed for the patent belonging to Hassex, Inc., called “Method and device for interactive virtual control of sexual aids using digital computer networks.”

Since someone from FriXion is already on this thread, perhaps he or she would like to speak on this further.

It’s true that AEBN discontinued sales of the RealTouch because of rising licensing and manufacturing costs. But, it still operates RealTouch Interactive, which connects people who already own the device with webcam models. At least that’s what the company told the media last November. http://www.xbiz.com/news/171409

Kiiroo is facing challenges stemming from patent rights. I spoke to Kiiroo co-founder Toon Timmermans and he said the company is unable to sell their products in the United States as the company does not have rights to the Hassex, Inc., patent I mentioned above. He did seem optimistic that he would be able to work something out to get licensed. We’ll have to wait and see.

Patent ownerships are definitely causing issues, though I’m not convinced they’ve completely halted companies working in haptic sex technology.

It is none of my business but neither Frixion, Kiroo, or Realtouch have the rights to the technology patent. All three of them are just wishing and hoping at this point or soon to be non existant.

Thank you for the clarification. I’ve updated the article to
reflect that FriXion users do not need to pay to access the site.

I also spoke with FriXion co-founder Seth (who may be you)
to learn more about the platform and plans for the future. So I will write a
more thorough article about FriXion soon that will better explore what you
encompass as an adult social network.
