GATINEAU, QUEBEC – (January 6, 2026) – VoltSafe Inc. is thrilled to announce that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (“CIPO”) has formally issued a patent covering the company’s core prongless “Electrical Fingerprint” technology. This patent underpins VoltSafe’s innovative approach to delivering safer, smarter, and more intelligent electrical power across multiple industries.
The Canadian patent strengthens VoltSafe’s growing global intellectual property portfolio and builds on protections already secured in the United States, China, and other key international markets. With this grant, VoltSafe further solidifies its ownership of a critical enabling technology that is designed for broad adoption through partnerships, licensing, and embedded integrations.
“This patent represents a meaningful step forward in protecting the core innovation that makes VoltSafe possible,” said Trevor Burgess, CEO and Co-Founder of VoltSafe. “Intellectual property is not just defensive, it’s an enabler of collaboration, standardization, and scale. As the world looks to modernize electrical infrastructure, VoltSafe is positioned to play a defining role in how power is delivered safely and intelligently.”
The issuance of this patent comes as global demand accelerates for next-generation electrical solutions that improve safety, reduce risk, and unlock new data-driven capabilities. With an estimated 30 billion pronged electrical connections in use worldwide and billions of people interacting with them every day, VoltSafe’s technology addresses a vast, largely unchanged market with a fundamentally new approach.
Canada represents a strategically important jurisdiction for VoltSafe as electrification, clean technology, and smart infrastructure investments continue to expand. Securing patent protection through CIPO reinforces the company’s ability to commercialize and license its technology within a highly regulated market that prioritizes safety, reliability, and sustainability.
