Quick answer: USA Entertainment Ventures has filed a patent application for the EsportsPod, Application No. 17866074. The filing protects the design thinking behind the Small Footprint Simulator: a fully assembled, mobile simulation pod that fits through standard doors and supports esports and professional training in one platform. The patent is now pending.
What is the EsportsPod patent application?
The application covers the EsportsPod concept that underpins our product line. Since development began in 2017, our goal has been to deliver serious simulation in a footprint that real buildings can accept. The filing reflects years of engineering work toward that goal.
Patent pending status means the application has been filed and is under review. We will continue to build and ship pods while the process moves forward.
Why does a patent filing matter to customers?
For buyers, the filing is a signal of commitment. It shows that the design is original, that the company is investing in it for the long term and that the product line will continue to evolve. Customers who plan multi-year programs want confidence that their equipment comes from a company with a durable platform.
- Originality: the pod is a purpose-built design, not a repackaged gaming chair.
- Longevity: continued investment supports upgrades and long-term support.
- Consistency: every pod shares the same proven form factor.
What design features define the EsportsPod?
The pod was shaped by practical constraints. It measures 80 inches long, 32.6 inches wide and 56 inches high, and weighs 445 pounds. It rolls through standard doors and onto service elevators on wheels, runs on a single 110V outlet and arrives fully assembled. Setup and calibration typically take about 15 minutes.
Inside, the pod supports more than 100 control options, from HOTAS and yokes to force-feedback wheels, pedals, shifters and heavy-equipment controls, with optional VR. Every unit includes a Dell computer with Dell Premium Support Plus and a 4-Year Warranty.
How does esports connect to professional training?
The same hardware that hosts a competitive match can run a flight lesson, a driving scenario or a rehabilitation session. That dual purpose is central to the EsportsPod idea. Schools can support an esports team and a career program with one investment, and military and public safety programs can use esports to engage recruits while training core skills.
We will share further updates on the application as the review process continues. In the meantime, our focus remains on delivering pods to the programs that rely on them.
