They are also selling retrofit kits

I don't know how that can be patented when my snowboard boot inserts lace the same way; I find it highly suspicious that 32 licensed a lacing technology from those Salomon folks

Why? Seems perfectly reasonable to me. It would be like a outdoor jacket manufacturer licensing the use of Goretex technology in their branded jackets.

Because I have a hard time imagining myself in the conference room where they're like, wow, our boots are great, but who here knows how to lace them up? Nobody? Ok, then let's pay these randos some licensing fees. Alice from legal, can you start contractual negotiations for how much money, or percentage of our boot sales, we're going to pay randos. Bob from manufacturing, can you start investigating how we're going to retool our boot line to fold in this new technology? I'm sure there are a bazillion other logistical moving parts that I can't even imagine

For laces.

I'll also point out, without one shred of irony, that the reason I bought those 32 brand boots is for their innovative boot lacing system (Boa). Maybe they licensed that, too
