TOCCOA, GA - Osborne Wood Products says its Fusion Leg wood and metal furniture component has earned the company a patent protecting all intellectual and development rights on the product.

The three-year development process began when CEO and founder of Osborne Wood Products, Leon Osborne, visualized the concept in 2008 while on a business trip to Spain. Haden Smith, Osborne’s chief CAD designer developed the project with support from patent lawyer Ron Reardon, and Leon Osborne.

“Osborne sees the Fusion Leg as an opportunity to serve new customer demands,” states Leon Osborne. The Fusion Leg, which combines traditional wooden leg profiles with modern metal components, is available in eight different wood species with five different metal finishes.

This newly announced patent  protects the visual design and features applied to the manufactured product. It protects the way the manufactured product looks, while not allowing intrusion in design on that manufactured product from other parties. Osborne is now seeking a second "utility" patent for its wood and metal table legs.
