Patent for Pet Safety Restraint Issued to So Cal Inventors

The issuance of a patent is not a short-term process, nor unattainable!  Each week we list patents issued to local companies and inventors.  While Amgen, MiniMed, and Hughes Research Lab may dominate the list there are many small companies and individuals who succeed in protecting their idea thru the US Patent Office.   Such as US 12,070,014 B1 patent filed by Launch Lab of Pasadena but the products are sold thru SleepyPod. The invention is attributed to Michael Leung, Pomona, CA (US); and Ruixi Chen, Temple City, CA (US). Michael Leung is Sleepypods co-founder and lead product designer . The patent is described as:
