Tzu Technologies will no longer be the owners of a patent for remote mutual masturbation with your partner made possible by synching sex toys. The device patent has long-distance couples in mind, each owning a device and synching them together to provide a tactile play session where their partner can interact with the controls of the others’ toy.

Being able to sexually connect over long distances is an option that many couples have been longing for, but Tzu Technologies, despite owning the patent have not utilised it by creating a product that uses it. However, they have been litigious against anyone who tries to make one blocking the advancement of these kind of sex toys.

While some brands have worked to license the patent, such as Kiiroo when they were developing their Pearl & Onyx Couple Unit, the high cost to do so has held back many other ideas. With the advent of the 20-year patent coming up, sex toy companies are gearing up to begin production on their own versions of this amazing technology.

VR porn spaces, haptic technology to recreate the sensation of touch and internet-enabled vibrators are only the beginning of what’s going to be coming through. With the patent ended who knows what wonders will make their way through the adult toy industry!
