WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:VWAV) ("VisionWave" or the "Company"), a defense technology and artificial intelligence company, today announced that it has filed an Application for International Registration under the Madrid Protocol for its VISIONWAVE STRATUM trademark (Application No. 99623991), seeking to expand intellectual property protection for the Company’s AI platform into several strategic international markets.

The international application designates the European Union, the United Kingdom, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates, reflecting VisionWave’s long-term strategy to commercialize its advanced artificial intelligence technologies globally.

The application covers a broad range of software and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) technologies, including artificial intelligence, defense applications, robotics, autonomous air, land and sea systems, guidance systems, and customizable operating platforms for unmanned vehicles.

About StratumAI

StratumAI is VisionWave’s specialized agentic artificial intelligence assistant designed for the defense and national security sectors. The platform, which is under development, seeks to combine advanced reasoning capabilities with a curated technical knowledge base to provide structured, source-cited intelligence across a wide range of mission-critical disciplines.

Unlike general-purpose AI systems, StratumAI is designed specifically for defense technology and engineering applications, including:

Defense technologies and military systems
Cybersecurity and cyber defense
Radio-frequency (RF) sensing and electronic warfare
Autonomous air, land, and maritime platforms
Robotics and unmanned systems
Open-source intelligence (OSINT)
Technical documentation and engineering research

StratumAI is intended to assist engineers, analysts, researchers, and decision-makers by delivering source-cited technical information while serving as a foundational component of VisionWave’s broader AI intelligence ecosystem.

The international trademark filing represents another step in VisionWave’s strategy to build and protect a portfolio of proprietary artificial intelligence technologies supporting defense, security, autonomous systems, and next-generation military applications.

"Taking steps to protect our intellectual property internationally is an important milestone as we continue expanding VisionWave’s AI capabilities," said Douglas Davis, Chief Executive Officer of VisionWave Holdings. "StratumAI represents our vision of specialized, mission-focused artificial intelligence built specifically for the defense sector, and we believe securing global trademark protection is an important step in supporting its long-term commercialization."

The international application was filed through the Madrid Protocol based on the Company’s U.S. trademark application, providing a streamlined framework for pursuing trademark protection across multiple jurisdictions. No assurance can be given that the application will result in a registration in any designated jurisdiction; the application remains subject to examination and potential opposition in each jurisdiction, and the resulting international registration will remain dependent on the Company’s underlying U.S. application for a period of five years.
