[German version a little further down] All good things take a good while… or so the saying goes. If that’s true, this must be the latest and greatest invention the handheld timing industry will ever see: The U.S. Patent office granted a “Method of timing multiple entities, timekeeping device and timing application” to us on December 19, 2021. So, please note that the core of Herotime Smart Stopwatch is now protected under

U.S. Patent No. 11,080,947

Please, talk to us before replicating the uniquely simple yet capable multi-timing technology that Herotime is based on.

Here is the sneak preview pf the patent application by the way:

Also, reden Sie gerne mit uns, bevor Sie die Technologie selber einsetzen wollen. Wir sind für alle Gespräche offen.

[German brief here] Only a few weeks ago, a motorsport rally fan got back to me saying “I like your smart stopwatch, but I need something a little different”. The resulting new rally timing app just went live toady. The person, as it turns out, was a huge fan and industry insider of rally series such as the World Rally Championship (on Facebook) and the many smaller, local events. There is a great community behind the car rallye sport (for some, it’s a rally, for others a rallye) in particular in Northern and Central Europe, but also all the way to Africa and Australia.
