VoltSafe, a Vancouver-based technology company, has achieved a major milestone with the European Patent Office granting it a foundational patent for its prongless power connector technology. This decision extends VoltSafe’s intellectual property protection to 39 European countries, positioning the company for commercial expansion throughout the continent and strengthening its global patent portfolio, which already includes the United States, Canada, China, and other regions.
VoltSafe’s innovative connector eliminates traditional prongs, instead using magnets and a unique “electrical fingerprint” to enable intelligent, secure power connections. The result is a plug system that is safer, easier to use, and smarter than conventional designs—addressing risks like arcing, shock, and fire while offering quick, reliable connections. The technology is adaptable to a wide range of applications, from residential and commercial buildings to marine, industrial, defense, electric vehicles, emergency services, and data centers.
With Europe’s strong focus on electrification, clean technology, and smart infrastructure, VoltSafe’s patented solution arrives at an opportune moment. The company is now actively seeking commercialization and partnership opportunities across the EU, leveraging its patent as a gateway to strategic licensing deals with major players in sectors such as marine, industrial, and consumer electronics.
“Patents are a passport to global commercialization,” said Trevor Burgess, VoltSafe’s Co-Founder and CEO. “They serve as a green light for companies that want to license, integrate, or invest in the next generation of power delivery. With an estimated 30 billion pronged devices in use and 6 billion daily users, VoltSafe sees a blue ocean of opportunity ahead”.
As VoltSafe continues its global expansion, its prongless, magnetic connector technology is poised to set a new standard for safe, efficient, and intelligent power delivery worldwide.
