Berman Innovations Awarded Utility Patent for Semenette® Technology

By on May 30, 2016

BOSTON, – Stephanie Berman, inventor of The Semenette® and POPDildo™, is awarded a utility patent for the technology behind the innovative ejaculating dildo. The patent, US 9,301,779 B2, provides protections for the dildo and its replaceable pump and tubing system, allowing for the prevention of infection and other health issues.

“Being issued this patent is one of my proudest business accomplishments to date,” says Berman. “It is a very long and arduous process to apply for a patent, and to be granted one is an incredible personal achievement. I am confident in my unique technology, and having the patent to protect it is something for which I am truly grateful.”

The Semenette® and its second iteration, POPDildo™, allow partners to mimic traditional intercourse through its proprietary inner tubing and pump system, complete with ejaculation – something that sets it apart from both traditional dildos and “party”-style ejaculating toys.

“The invention generally relate[s] to devices for artificial insemination, and more particularly, to devices that mimic ejaculation,” reads the patent documentation. “[Berman’s device] includes a dildo member having an internal channel for receiving a tubing, connected to a pumping mechanism and associated pumping arm, wherein fluid may be drawn into the dildo member through the pumping mechanism and discharged through the internal tubing at the distal end.”

The Semenette®, a novelty intimacy product, allows partners to re-create the ejaculation process in the privacy of their own home, through its proprietary inner tubing and pump system. Berman herself is the first of many Semenette® success stories; she and her wife successfully used the product to conceive their daughter and son. The product experienced its first viral wave soon after its launch in early 2015, and global media attention has not waned about the company’s innovative approach to at-home conception for the LGBT, FTM / trans, disabled, and serodiscordant communities.

Berman Innovations teamed up with German pleasure products manufacturer Fun Factory to introduce its second iteration, POPDildo™. By incorporating Fun Factory’s pleasure-focused shape, built for G-spot and prostate play, with the technology of the original Semenette®, POPDildo™ is a novelty product for consumers from a wider variety of communities. Since it’s launch in February 2016, POPDildo™ has quickly found a fan base in people excited by its potential for play, who recognize the technology which sets it apart from both traditional dildos and “party”-style ejaculating toys. POPDildo™ has since skyrocketed to the top of the “wish list” for a wide variety of community members, including pegging enthusiasts, kinksters and fetishists, and more.

Berman Innovations is nominated for LGBT Company of the Year and Marketing Campaign of the Year for the upcoming 10th Annual StorErotica Awards. Recognizing excellence in the adult retail community, the 2016 StorErotica Awards laud those in the brick and mortar storefront, distributing, and manufacturing levels. Winners will be announced during a special awards gala event on Monday, July 18th, during the ANME Founders Show.

Recipient of Techie.com’s Editor’s Choice Lightning Bolt Award for Emerging Technology, and industry nominations for Couples Sex Toy of the Year, Specialty Pleasure Product of the Year, and New Product of the Year, both The Semenette® and POPDildo™ are made of premium medical-grade silicone, and are non-toxic and phthalate-free.
