Vision Marine Technologies announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted two U.S. patents covering foundational elements of its E-Motion 180E 180hp electric marine propulsion system. Both patents were issued on February 10, 2026, following applications filed in 2024. U.S. Patent No. 12,549,532 "Cryptographic Authentication of Components in an Electric Vessel" (VM1001US01) protects Vision Marine's secure component authentication framework. The patent covers encrypted verification between propulsion control units, battery management systems, and interface modules, designed to prevent unauthorized component substitution and strengthen cybersecurity within high-voltage marine systems. U.S. Patent No. 12,548,842 "Battery Pack for an Electric Marine Vessel" (VM1004US01) protects structural and control architecture specific to marine battery integration. The patent addresses mechanical reinforcement, vibration management, safety monitoring, and system communication tailored for dynamic marine operating environments.

Vision Marine Technologies filed a new U.S. patent application with the USPTO, supporting the continued development of its high-voltage electric marine powertrain platform. The patent filing relates to a modular mechanical integration system designed to enable electric motors to be paired with conventional outboard lower units while accommodating alignment tolerances and operational loads encountered in marine environments. By designing a complete, marine-specific high-voltage powertrain with interfaces engineered to work with proven outboard platforms, Vision Marine aims to support broader compatibility across systems familiar to manufacturers, dealers, and service technicians. From a commercial perspective, the invention supports Vision Marine's ability to deploy a standardized high-voltage propulsion architecture across multiple outboard formats.

Vision Marine Technologies announced the filing of a new U.S. patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, further strengthening the intellectual property supporting its high-voltage electric marine powertrain platform. The patent 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.

Vision Marine Technologies and Nautical Ventures announced the development of Project Pelagos, an AI-driven customer intelligence and revenue operations platform for its marine retail subsidiary, Nautical Ventures. The company said, "Project Pelagos is being designed to strengthen execution, coordination, and customer experience across the Nautical Ventures retail network by embedding artificial intelligence directly into sales and aftersales operations. Built on an enterprise CRM foundation and enhanced with a proprietary AI and data orchestration layer, the platform is intended to support improved prioritization, greater operational visibility, and more coordinated customer management workflows. Pelagos is designed to connect traditionally disconnected systems-including Dealer Management Software, multiple MLS platforms, ticketing systems, and team communications-into a single, behavior-aware environment. The objective is to accelerate revenue execution, improve customer experience, and bring clarity and coordination across sales and aftersales operations. As Vision Marine continues to integrate Nautical Ventures into a vertically integrated model-combining technology, retail, service, and customer access-Project Pelagos represents a key component of the Company's AI-enabled operational infrastructure. The initiative reflects the Company's focus on scalability, execution discipline, and building internal systems capable of supporting growth across an expanding retail footprint."
