Auddia Secures Foundational AI Patent; IP Portfolio Grows to 6 Issued

AI Summary

Auddia Inc. announced a Notice of Allowance from the USPTO for a foundational patent covering its core AI technology for commercial-free AM/FM radio and its Discovr Radio platform. This patent, titled "A Method for Classifying Segments of an Audio Stream of a Radio Program," protects the company's machine-learning system for audio classification and song boundary identification.
