Vision Marine Technologies has filed its latest US patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in a bid to further strengthen the intellectual property supporting its high-voltage electric marine powertrain platform.
The latest filing relates to a structural integration system that enables electric motors to be mechanically paired with conventional outboard assemblies while maintaining precise alignment and load management under marine operating conditions.
The patent addresses a critical interface within electric outboard design, supporting reliable torque transfer and long-term durability without requiring proprietary lower units.
The company states that this approach enables electric propulsion to integrate with existing outboard architectures, helping reduce development costs and shorten integration timelines for boat manufacturers.
Multiple outboard formats
“We design the entire high-voltage marine powertrain and engineer its interfaces to integrate with established outboard platforms,” said Daniel Rathe, chief technology officer, Vision Marine Technologies.
The invention supports Vision Marine’s ability to apply a standardised high-voltage propulsion architecture across multiple outboard formats.
Including this filing, Vision Marine’s intellectual property portfolio now comprises 14 patent applications pending, all centered on the design, control, protection, and integration of high-voltage electric marine propulsion systems.
