Datavault AI Brings In Kasowitz LLP To Fortify IP Enforcement Across AI, Data Monetization, and Digital Twin Patents
Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT) has engaged Kasowitz LLP and Marc E. Kasowitz to work alongside existing counsel on intellectual property litigation, patent strategy, and technology disputes. The move signals a more assertive posture to protect patents and proprietary assets spanning AI, data monetization, acoustic transmission, and digital twin technologies.
For legal teams, this is a clear tell: Datavault AI is preparing for heavier enforcement, faster actions, and deeper coverage across venues.
Who's at the table
Marc E. Kasowitz, founding and managing partner of Kasowitz LLP, brings decades of trial experience in complex commercial and IP disputes. He has led high-stakes matters involving antitrust, securities, banking, and advanced technologies, and previously served as legal counsel to President Donald J. Trump.
Kasowitz LLP will augment Datavault AI's existing counsel rather than replace it. Expect coordinated strategy across prosecution, enforcement, and defense, with the capacity to move from demand to complaint without hesitation.
What this signals about Datavault AI's IP strategy
- Broader coverage of AI/ML, data valuation and monetization, acoustic transmission (WiSA, ADIO, Sumerian), and digital twin/IDE assets.
- Preparedness for multi-forum tactics: district court litigation, PTAB challenges/defense, and potential ITC Section 337 complaints for import-related infringement.
- Increased leverage in licensing and settlement, backed by trial credibility.
- Closer alignment between patent prosecution, portfolio pruning, and litigation readiness to strengthen damages narratives and injunction arguments.
Implications for counterparties and competitors
If you operate in adjacent markets-AI-driven data platforms, spatial audio, NIL/digital identity, or digital twins-assume a tighter boundary around Datavault AI's claims. Freedom-to-operate reviews that were "good enough" last year may now be risky.
Expect faster escalation from notice letters to filing. Willfulness exposure will be front and center if notices go unanswered, especially where patents map cleanly to deployed features or SKUs.
Moves to watch
- Targeted enforcement against distributors or integrators in the chain to create pressure.
- PTAB filings (offense and defense) to shape the portfolio's core claims.
- Venue selection aimed at speed and injunctive leverage; possible Section 337 actions for hardware or modules tied to acoustic or edge components.
- Portfolio refresh: continuations to read on current product features and standards touchpoints.
- Licensing programs that tier fees by data volume, channel, or feature activation-especially for data monetization and IDE-linked digital identity use cases.
Checklist for GCs and IP leads
- Run an immediate FTO gap analysis against Datavault AI's AI/data, acoustic, and digital twin claims. Update claim charts and product mapping.
- Audit indemnities with vendors and resellers. Confirm tender and control provisions if a claim hits your stack.
- Prepare a PTAB playbook: identify best IPR grounds, real parties in interest, and timing to avoid estoppel traps.
- Draft notice and response templates to manage willfulness risk. Centralize intake, logging, and engineering hold procedures.
- Model damages with realistic apportionment. Tie revenue to accused features (or decouple it) early.
- Evaluate ITC exposure if you import components tied to spatial audio or edge hardware.
- Tune PR and investor comms for parallel disputes; align with disclosure controls.
- If you license, set rate cards now. If you defend, line up neutral experts in audio, HPEC/AI pipelines, and data valuation.
What Datavault AI is building
The company operates a cloud platform spanning AI-driven data valuation and monetization, with divisions focused on Acoustic Science (WiSA, ADIO, Sumerian for spatial and multichannel wireless HD sound) and Data Science for experiential data perception, valuation, and secure monetization. Its Information Data Exchange (IDE) supports digital twins and secure name, image, and likeness licensing with an emphasis on integrity in AI workflows.
The footprint touches sports and entertainment, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, and energy. Translation: a broad set of potential counterparties, partners, and targets-on both sides of the "v."
Statement from Datavault AI
