Auddia Inc (NASDAQ:AUUD), an AI audio company, saw its shares skyrocket on Thursday after the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office said it will allow LT350's 14th patent, expanding its AI infrastructure intellectual property portfolio.

Patent Expansion

The new patent strengthens LT350's canopy-based architecture, enabling high-density AI compute deployment in unused parking lot airspace.

The portfolio now includes 16 issued and pending patents supporting the platform's distributed AI infrastructure model.

These patents cover canopy structures, modular GPU and battery cartridges, cooling systems, power-aware operations, and distributed connectivity.

LT350 addresses key AI infrastructure constraints, including land, power, cooling, and community compatibility, while supporting battery storage and solar-enabled grid operations.

Scale And Strategy

The company said its REIT partner controls 4 million square feet of parking lot space for deployment. LT350's design could support up to 2,000 canopies and 960,000 GPUs across that footprint.

The platform is applicable across healthcare, universities, retail, logistics, and public infrastructure sectors.

LT350 is one of three businesses proposed to be combined with Auddia as part of a planned transaction with Thramann Holdings.

CEO Jeff Thramann said, "Our IP portfolio is the foundation of LT350's competitive advantage," adding it "solves the biggest constraints in AI infrastructure — land, power, cooling, and community compatibility."

Short Interest Rises

Short interest in Auddia rose from 164.40K to 191.03K shares in the latest reporting period, representing 38.23% of its publicly available float.

Based on an average daily trading volume of 214.11K shares, it would take approximately one day for short sellers to cover their positions.

Due to such high short-interest, the stock is experiencing a short-squeeze.
