TRBY moving on Patent News...Looks like pretty significant development.

MINEOLA, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 19, 2006 -- Torbay Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB:TRBY.OB - News) announced today that the US Patent Office had issued a "Notice of Allowance" for TRBY's patent that seeks to protect its "Gripless Mouse" design.
The utility of this patent describes the process by which a computer mouse can be used without the need for grip. In doing so this reduces the physiological demands placed upon computer mouse users' hands, which are a result of muscle and tendon strain arising from the maintenance of a gripped static posture upon regular computer mice. This may be more easily understood as improving "mouse gas mileage" insofar as it is less fatiguing to work in the posture that our invention describes.
The patenting process looks at the novelty of the utility described in a patent application. We believe that this Notification provides further evidence to support our claims of design innovation. At the same time, it also can provide us with the opportunity to protect and enhance our exploitation of it, either in our own products or under license. The Company believes therefore that this development can help to solidify the tangible value of the Company's intellectual property assets.
Designer Appliances, Inc. is leading the way in the development of Anti.Fatigue(TM) tools and technologies to manage the impact that fatigue is now understood to have upon computer users. Anti.Fatigue(TM) design conforms to Universal Design criteria so produces products that are more "Accessible and Assistive" to all, including persons with dexterity impairment or disability. We are all capable of fatigue.
