Bentley's Slightly More Affordable SUV Is Impersonating A Porsche
Like it or not, the social experiment that is the ultra-luxury super SUV has been successful for automakers, and now that the Bentayga is one of those success stories, Bentley is searching for more ways of satisfying its customers. They love their Bentaygas, but in dense European city centers, the SUV is just too long to legally park on the street. To satisfy those Madrid, London, and Rome-based customers and attract a few more, the as-yet-unnamed "urban SUV" will measure less than 16.4 feet (5 meters) in length. And according to the Autoblog spies who snapped these images, we're looking at the forthcoming newbie, albeit obviously in a Porsche frock. In February of this year, the patent and trademark sleuths at CarMoses discovered two new Bentley filings that could be earmarked for the incoming SUV: Mayon and Barnato. The former likely references the active Mayon Volcano in the Philippines, since the Bentayga was named after Roque Bentayga, a rock formation on the Canary Islands within the volcanic caldera of Tejeda. The latter has been trademarked by Crewe before and references Woolf Barnato, a Le Mans-winning Bentley Boy and chairman who helped keep the company alive in the mid-1920s. When Bentley first announced this new electric SUV, it said that it would arrive in 2026, saying that it expected the market's appetite for EVs to grow to a sustainable level by then. It has since delayed that introductory date by a single year, but it ought to be worth the wait, with Bentley promising the EV will be "much more agile" than a Bentayga. Crewe did not confirm what would underpin the new SUV, but at the time of the announcement, the PPE architecture beneath the Audi Q6 e-tron and the Porsche Macan Electric seemed the most sensible. Now that our spies tell us the Porsche mule in these images is a Bentley, those suspicions are all but confirmed. Bentley says that some elements of its extraordinary EXP 15 concept will inform the styling, though exactly how can't be gleaned from the proportions of this prototype. Expect around 350-400 miles of range, fast-charging, and something new. Bentley's head of R&D, Dr. Matthias Rabe, spoke during the EV's announcement, saying that the sound would not be purely synthetic, nor a copy of what other automakers have been doing. Details would not be divulged, but he hinted that Bentley is "developing something no one else is doing right now." Stay tuned. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

BallotTrax™ Secures Second U.S. Patent for Mail Ballot Tracking and Voter Notification System
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--i3logix, the Denver-based software company behind BallotTrax ™, the country's first and only patented mail-ballot tracking and notification system, has been awarded a second new U.S. patent, solidifying its market position to deliver proactive ballot status alerts to voters. U.S. Patent No. 12,340,633, issued June 24, 2025, with a priority date of February 2, 2010, expands the company's IP protections. BallotTrax™ is now the only system with patented technology to notify voters—via text, email, or voice—of their ballot's status at each step of the mail voting process. 'Ballot status notifications have become one of the most cherished features of vote-by-mail systems,' said Steve Olsen, CEO of i3logix. 'Now that our technology is protected by patent, we're ensuring that counties and states can continue providing these critical alerts legally, reliably, and securely. Voter confidence depends on it.' The BallotTrax™ system receives data from ballot printers, election systems, and USPS scans. An intelligent barcode, linked to the voter's ID, is printed on outbound and inbound envelopes—never on the ballot itself—preserving privacy while enabling transparency. Voters choose how and when to receive alerts, with customizable delivery methods, languages, and notification windows. Counties use BallotTrax™ to automate outreach for issues such as signature mismatches or ballot rejections, and to offer helpful reminders and drop-off options. Vote-by-mail has surged in popularity since 2020, and BallotTrax™ now serves 19 states and nearly 400 counties—tracking approximately one in every four ballots cast in the United States. The company's first patent, issued in 2023, established a foundation for secure mail ballot tracking. The newly awarded patent expands those protections to cover additional aspects of the platform's architecture, alerting mechanisms, and voter customization features—ensuring that the BallotTrax™ intellectual property remains the only fully protected and compliant solution on the market. 'This patent underscores our leadership in secure, compliant, and voter-centric election technology,' Olsen added. 'We're committed to protecting the integrity of our system and ensuring that election officials have the most technologically advanced and protected system on the market.' Counties using BallotTrax™ report reduced administrative costs, improved vendor accountability, and significantly enhanced voter trust. i3logix continues to expand its IP portfolio and work closely with jurisdictions to ensure compliance ahead of upcoming elections.
