I always love delving into the US Patent Office's records and applications, as I feel like I'm getting a sneak peek at what's to come over the next few months. Sure, these applications are technically spoilers, but those spoilers sometimes lead to me getting more excited about a product, machine, or direction a manufacturer is heading.
Case in point, Sea-Doo's fully electric PWC we reported on a few months back.
But every so often, we come across a patent that has us scratching our heads as to what the manufacturer was thinking. A patent that has us ask the question, "Wait, what?" And that's the sort of application I stumbled upon in my most recent scroll, finding one of the latest filings from Can-Am's parent company BRP that illustrates a truck-bed accessory rail system that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the powersports machines the brand makes.
So what's going on here and is BRP expanding into the world of truck accessories? Let's talk through this patent and see if we can figure it out.
