Los Angeles, Calif. – September 29, 2009 – GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO), a leader in customizable, 2-way GPS Personal Location Services (PLS) solutions was recently awarded USPatent RE40,879. The reissuance of U.S. Patent No. 6,788,200 as reissue patent RE 40,897 is great news for GTX Corp and significantly increases the Company’s IP portfolio value. In addition to original claims 1-20, the reissue patent includes new Claims 21-47, which are much broader than the original claims and also entitled to the original filing date of October 2002.

Larry Hennemen, the attorney for GTX Corp who manages the growing IP portfolio for the Company and who was instrumental in drafting the additional claims, states, “Life just got tougher for our competitors and RE 40,897 is just the tip of the iceberg. I expect three more reissue applications to be allowed any day now. Each of these patents will include claims broadly directed to other fundamental features of our platform and products; and these reissue patents along with GTX Corp's other utility and design patents and patents pending should provide a significant competitive advantage in GTX Corp’s technological space.”

The expansion of the Company’s IP portfolio and specifically in the GPS shoes category is perfect timing as the Company is currently in China working with Aetrex Worldwide, Inc., a global leader in adult pedorthic footwear, preparing to bring to market the patented GPS enabled shoes dubbed the “Ambulator.” The GPS Shoes will afford millions of caregivers the means to instantly connect with those afflicted with Alzheimer’s that will become lost due to wondering. The GPS Shoes patent covers a transceiver locator unit discreetly placed within the footwear providing a dynamic method for accurately positioning the shoe with GPS data capture and transmission of that location to a central monitoring station which disseminates the secure data through the use of proprietary software and cellular connectivity and the internet.

Chris Walsh, GTX Corp COO and ex VP at Nike and Reebok affirmed; “A broad patent or several in this case, effectively creates more barriers to entry and blocks competition. We have been committed to a strong, ongoing IP philosophy from day one and continue to invest in our future, offering protection and value to our investors, partners and licensees.”
