The patent should belong to Waters.
Jiefang shoes have a history of 60 years. In 1950, the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army launched the first set of military uniforms after the founding of the People's Liberation Army - the 50-style military uniforms, which included Jiefang shoes. Since then, Jiefang shoes have been popular all over the country for 40 years. However, after the 1990s, Jiefang shoes were no longer a mainstream shoe because they were “fashionable” and were only sold in some labor protection supplies stores.
OSPOP has hired a shoe designer through Waters to design the insoles and improve the materials, appearance and even packaging, so the latest patent should belong to Waters.
