Kick Brickz® Files International PCT Application for Decorative Shoe Kit

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Glendale, AZ — July 4, 2026 — Kick Brickz® today announced that it has filed an International Application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for its invention, the "Decorative Shoe Kit." The filing extends the company's intellectual property strategy beyond the United States, laying the groundwork for global patent protection of its buildable, transformable shoe kit design.

The PCT filing follows Kick Brickz®'s U.S. utility patent allowance earlier this year and represents the next step in the company's effort to secure its innovation on an international scale. Under the terms of the treaty, Kick Brickz® now has 18 months from the filing date to identify and enter the national phase in the specific countries where it seeks patent protection, allowing the company time to evaluate key international markets before committing to individual filings.

"Filing internationally is a huge step for us," said James "Jimmy" Greene, Co-Founder of Kick Brickz®. "It gives us the runway to be strategic about where we protect this invention as we grow. We built something we believe fans around the world are going to want, and we intend to protect it every step of the way."

The PCT system allows applicants to seek patent protection in over 150 countries through a single international filing, streamlining what would otherwise be a complex, country-by-country process. Kick Brickz® will use the 18-month window to assess international demand, licensing opportunities, and manufacturing partnerships as it determines which countries to pursue for national-phase entry.

This filing builds on the momentum of Kick Brickz®'s U.S. patent allowance and reflects the company's continued investment in protecting its core innovation as it pursues broader retail distribution and licensing partnerships.
