U.S. Patent No. 7,376,700 is a broad business method patent, seldom granted and only allowed after lengthy and rigorous scrutiny. This patent application has been under examination since 1999 and will be in force until 2022.
Wellcoaches has built the foundation for professional coaches in healthcare, said Margaret Moore, CEO of Wellcoaches, which has trained 3,000 coaches, the largest community of coaches in healthcare worldwide, who work with executives, employees, consumers, physicians, health clubs, and families. We are committed to setting the highest standards for coaches and we are delighted that the U.S. Patent Office has recognized the innovation we conceived of in 1999 when it wasn™t obvious to use the web for one-to-one interactions: Using the Internet to enable large scale delivery of high quality one-to-one professional coaching for health and well-being.
