Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT) announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued a Notice of Allowance for all 24 claims in its patent application covering blockchain-based methods and systems designed to detect and mitigate naked and excessive short selling through tokenized dividend distribution. The patent, detailed in the press release at https://ibn.fm/Ce5bf, represents a significant step in addressing long-standing issues in securities settlement.
The allowed claims include technologies for issuing digital dividend tokens on a distributed ledger, reconciling token issuance with reported share positions to identify settlement discrepancies, automating settlement and share recalls, supporting CUSIP reclassification, and providing real-time reporting and audit capabilities. This innovation could provide a mechanism for companies and regulators to identify and respond to naked short selling, which occurs when a seller does not borrow or arrange to borrow shares in time for settlement.
The company said the intellectual property expands its blockchain and tokenization portfolio while creating potential licensing opportunities for exchanges, transfer agents, broker-dealers, custodians, issuers and digital asset platforms. This development is particularly timely as regulators increasingly focus on market transparency and settlement finality. By tokenizing dividends, the system creates an immutable record of ownership and dividend entitlements, making it harder for short sellers to exploit settlement failures.
Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) is leading the way in AI-driven data experiences, valuation and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment. The Company’s cloud-based platform provides comprehensive solutions with a collaborative focus in its Acoustic Sciences and Data Sciences divisions.

This patent allowance strengthens Datavault's position in the fintech and blockchain space, potentially opening new revenue streams through licensing. For investors, the news signals the company's continued innovation in addressing market inefficiencies. More information about Datavault AI is available at https://dvlt.ai.
