The person behind the device
Built by an inventor who chose not to patent it.
Ted Bochi has spent decades solving problems that most people assume cannot be solved affordably. His patent portfolio is not theoretical — these are filed, prosecuted, and in several cases already granted. Wheelchair suspension systems. Data center cooling. Bedbug exclusion barriers. Utility theft prevention locks. A wheelchair design patent is in preparation for later this year. More than eighteen additional patents are in his pipeline awaiting filing.
He is not a doctor. He is an engineer and inventor who files patents the way other people file taxes: methodically, relentlessly, and with the expectation that every one of them should work exactly as described.

He could have patented finallyRelief!℠. The technology is novel. The form factor is original. His patent attorney would have filed it without hesitation.
He said no.
Not because the patent would not hold. Because the patent would restrict who could build it. And if someone can build it cheaper and get it into more hands, Ted wants them to. He has watched the PEMF industry charge thousands of dollars for clinical machines that produce the same category of benefit. He has watched consumer devices launch at three and four hundred dollars because the companies behind them need to protect margins on proprietary technology. He decided that the people who need nervous system support should not have to finance someone's intellectual property strategy to get it.
"I could have locked this down. I chose not to. If someone copies this device and sells it for less than I do, good — that means more people are getting help. My job is to build something that works and offer it at a price that respects the person buying it. Their money does me no good unless I earned it."
