Auddia Receives USPTO Notice of Allowance for Radio Patent
The United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued a Notice of Allowance for an Auddia patent covering the classification of audio stream segments in radio programs.
Auddia is a Boulder, Colorado-based company. The United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a Notice of Allowance for Auddia's patent titled “A Method for Classifying Segments of an Audio Stream of a Radio Program.” Auddia's machine-learning system classifies individual frames of an audio stream as music, talk or advertising.
Discovr Radio uses Auddia's technology to identify suitable places within live radio programming where tracks from emerging artists can be introduced. Auddia's flagship faidr app is designed to deliver commercial-free AM/FM listening, content skipping and bypassing of podcast advertising breaks.
According to the company's May 28, 2026 release, Auddia had six issued U.S. patents and six pending applications including the newly allowed patent. Across the McCarthy Finney platform, the company reported 20 issued patents and nine pending applications.
Auddia entered into a merger agreement with Thramann Holdings in February 2026, with plans to form an AI-focused holding company called McCarthy Finney. CEO Jeff Thramann said the patent is the core moat behind Auddia's ability to modernize AM/FM radio with AI.
