Atlanta, Georgia (September 10th, 2008) – The European Patent Office has granted a patent that recognizes the uniqueness of the HANS Device design.  The award has taken over nine years to secure and covers nineteen European countries.  It protects the fundamental HANS Device design and technology, which is now familiar to racers worldwide.

HANS Performance Products CEO Mark Stiles said, “This award reaffirms just how special the HANS Device is.  It is a reminder that the innovations which make the HANS Device easy to use and give it class-leading performance are benefits we have been working on for many years.” 

Mark added, “While the patent is an important achievement, we are just as proud of our new value priced Sport Series, which brings HANS Device performance within reach of every racer’s budget.  Also, our recently introduced Vision Advantage PLUS™ sliding tether system provides unrivalled head motion.”

The HANS Device is worn by 60,000 racers worldwide and continues to be the #1 choice for performance, #1 for vision and #1 for winners.
