USPTO allows all 24 pending claims less than six months after the January 2026 filing; allowed claims cover blockchain-enabled dividend tokenization, shareholder verification, and settlement reconciliation designed to expose undelivered and synthetic share positions

Datavault AI Inc. (“Datavault AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset (‘RWA’) tokenization technologies, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a Notice of Allowance, dated July 1, 2026, for U.S. Patent Application No. 19/445,241, “Method and System for Mitigating Naked and Excessive Short Selling through Tokenized Dividend Distribution,” allowing all 24 pending claims.

The application was filed on January 9, 2026, reaching allowance in under six months. A Notice of Allowance indicates that the USPTO has determined the application’s claims are allowable, subject to payment of the issue fee and completion of final administrative requirements before issuance. The allowed claims address one of the most persistent integrity questions in U.S. equity markets: how issuers and their shareholders can verify ownership and dividend entitlement when settlement discrepancies, including those associated with excessive or naked short selling, obscure the true share count.
