Patent was filed February 22, 2000, thus the pending designation on the product. US patent 6247992 was eventually issued June 19, 2001 to William Higgins, III of Mayfield Heights, Ohio-- at the end of the last big yo-yo boom of the 20th century.
Their website was www.supersling.com which is no longer active (checked July 13, 2015).
