Genius Act Signed into Law Validating Growing Datavault AI Patent Portfolio
Datavault's Inaudible Tones Can Now Enable High Value Assets to be Tracked Including Applications in Semiconductor Industry, in Military Operations, and in Public Safety
Acquisition Completed of Trademarks, Patents and Technology Related to Inaudible Tones, Insurance Data Rounding Out Industry Leading AI & Blockchain Portfolio
Datavault AI (NASDAQ:DVLT), a leader in AI-driven blockchain and data monetization, today announced the historic passage of the Genius Act into law. The company believes that this legislation enhances the commercial potential of its patented technologies. Datavault's AI agents deliver data-driven solutions that accelerate the integration of Web 3.0 tokenization to improve customer efficiency and bottom-line performance. In conjunction with the milestone, the company completed the acquisition of inaudible and data patent assets from Web Access, LLC. These newly acquired assets strengthen Datavault AI's growing IP portfolio across key sectors including semiconductors, security alarms, and inaudible tone communications.
"We're thrilled at the passage of Genius Act into law. It validates our business plan, our proprietary technologies, and the strategic foresight that has positioned Datavault AI as a category leader," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. "Our Data Vault platform is uniquely built to serve the growing demand for tokenomic solutions across multiple industries. With scalability and market readiness, we offer a seamless path to adopt next-generation monetization models.
This acquisition further strengthens our IP portfolio with exclusive sonic tone-based technology and Sumerian Anchors, industry-first innovations that enhance how businesses connect with consumers. We believe Inaudible Tones technology could fundamentally change how we connect with the world around us. As we continue to develop and commercialize these innovations, we are excited about the impact they will have across industries worldwide."
William Talmage, CEO of Web Access, LLC, stated, "My father was a practical inventor who solved problems with common sense. Inspired by his legacy and through collaboration with Robbie, Nate, and Josh at Web Access, I've had the opportunity to continue inventing and innovating in that tradition. Our mission has always been to make a positive difference, first in New York and now worldwide. I'm proud to support Datavault AI as it advances the commercialization and licensing of these technologies to major global companies. Working alongside this team has been a privilege, and I look forward to their continued success."
