Vicor (VICR) Licenses its Power Patents to Another AI System Maker. Shares Jump 18%

Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ:VICR) announced on September 16 that it has licensed its Vertical Power Delivery patents to a new manufacturer of AI systems. The customer may buy patented modules from other suppliers and pay Vicor royalties, discounted if it sources the most demanding parts from Vicor. The shares rose about 18% the next day and have held the gain. Vertical Power Delivery solves what Vicor calls the "last inch" problem. AI processors draw huge current at low voltage, and Vicor holds patents on feeding it vertically rather than across the board.Vicor (VICR) Licenses its Power Patents to Another AI System Maker.
