PAYMETREX ENGAGES PELENT AI TO ACCELERATE PATENT LICENSING PROGRAM

Datametrex AI Ltd.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Paymetrex Payment Solutions Inc., has engaged Pelent Patent Analytics to enhance and accelerate Paymetrex's patent licensing and monetization program.

The engagement, effective Feb. 13, 2026, integrates Pelent's AI into Paymetrex's licensing workflow, supporting the identification of high-probability licensing targets and strengthening the company's ability to unlock value from its intellectual property portfolio.

Pelent AI: purpose built to identify high-value patent assets

Unlike conventional patent research platforms that rely on publicly available data sets, Pelent's AI engine is built around thousands of high-value patent licensing campaigns many of which are confidential and unavailable through public sources. This real-world licensing intelligence enables the system to evaluate patents through a commercial and enforcement lens rather than relying solely on academic indicators or citation-based metrics.

"Most AI systems in the patent space rely on publicly scraped data and generalized models," said Richard Moses, founder of Pelent. "Pelent was built differently. It was designed around actual patent licensing and trained to recognize the underlying characteristics -- the 'DNA' -- that distinguish valuable patents from the rest."

Since launching Version 1.0 in 2016, Pelent's system has operated continuously, analyzing and indexing patent data around the clock within a secure, closed infrastructure. All proprietary intelligence is maintained in a protected database, ensuring both data integrity and sustained competitive advantage.

Strengthening Paymetrex's licensing initiative

Paymetrex recently launched a comprehensive patent licensing program and announced its first non-exclusive United States licence agreement, which provides for annual royalty payments over the life of the applicable patents. The engagement of Pelent's AI platform is expected to significantly enhance Paymetrex's ability to:

• Identify companies whose products and platforms may utilize technologies covered by Paymetrex's patents;
• Prioritize enforcement and licensing opportunities based on commercial viability;
• Accelerate engagement timelines with prospective licensees;
• Optimize and expand its overall patent monetization strategy.

Pelent's platform is purpose built to identify commercially valuable patent assets with speed and precision. As the broader software market shifts toward highly specialized AI agents rather than large, generalized platforms, Pelent's focused approach has proven forward looking. Pelent concentrates on a single mission-critical objective: determining whether intellectual property assets possess real-world licensing and enforcement potential.

Integrating Pelent's AI into the Paymetrex workflow is expected to enable:

• Faster, data-driven strategic decision making;
• Improved portfolio optimization;
• Enhanced licensing and monetization readiness;
• Greater cost-efficiency in target identification and analysis.

"Engaging Pelent represents a strategic step forward in scaling our patent licensing program," said Paul Haber, chief executive officer of Datametrex. "Their system's real-world licensing intelligence aligns directly with our objective of methodically and efficiently monetizing our patent portfolio. This engagement significantly strengthens our ability to identify and pursue high-value opportunities."

Engagement terms

The engagement agreement, effective Feb. 13, 2026, provides for monthly services and a fee structure for evidence of use preparation per documented patent. The initial term is four months, with renewal options by mutual agreement. Fees are payable monthly and exclusive of applicable taxes. No finders' fees are payable in connection with this engagement.
