Expanding Patent Portfolio Builds Competitive Moat Across Consumer Gaming, Enterprise, and Defense Markets
AUSTIN, Texas, April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Virtuix Inc. (NASDAQ: VTIX), a leading developer of full-body virtual reality (VR) systems, today announced that it has received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its 26th U.S. patent, covering proprietary innovations in the mechanical design of its latest Omni One omni-directional treadmill.
The newly allowed patent reinforces Virtuix’s leadership position in full-body movement technology and expands the company’s intellectual property moat around Omni One, its most advanced platform to date that enables users to physically walk, run, crouch, and jump in 360 degrees within virtual environments. The platform has received industry recognition, including an award for Best VR Interaction Product at the 2025 Auggie Awards, reinforcing its position in the market.
Virtuix’s patent portfolio now includes 26 U.S. patents, with five additional patents pending, covering all core aspects of its locomotion technology including hardware design, motion tracking, and content integration. This growing IP position creates meaningful barriers to entry in a category that is increasingly attracting attention across gaming, industrial training, and military simulation.
"Securing our 26th patent highlights the depth of innovation behind our platform and reinforces our leadership in full-body movement technology,” said Jan Goetgeluk, CEO of Virtuix. "We are significantly ahead of any competition in this space, with a broad and defensible intellectual property portfolio that supports our accelerating growth.”
Virtuix continues to invest in research and development to advance immersive technologies that enable natural movement within virtual environments. The company’s growing patent portfolio supports its long-term strategy to scale full-body interaction across multiple high-growth markets.
