In 2001 the inventor and founder of Muscle Tech Ltd. received a grant from the Israeli Chief
Scientist, to develop an artificial muscle, to solve biotechnology problems in muscle
degenerative treatment, with hopes in the future that artificial muscles will be implanted in
human bodies.
The Artificial Muscle can also operate in underwater environments and contains no metal
parts. Aside from powering the Company’s proposed Assistive Sleeve, the Company
believes that there are a wide range of devices that could be powered by an industrial version
of the Artificial Muscle.
A Notice of Allowance for a patent on the Artificial Muscle was granted to the Company by the
United States Patents and Trademarks Office (USPTO) in September 2003. The Company
has also filed a PCT application to pursue the possibility of obtaining protection in additional
countries under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. Such PCT application provides the Company
with certain advantages if and when it files patent applications in other countries, such as the
right to avoid preliminary investigations in those jurisdictions.

The company successfully developed a prototype boasting an extraordinary weight to power
ratio. For example: The artificial muscle weighing 200 Grams is capable of lifting an adult
person weighing 75 Kilos and more.
