Datametrex Enters Strategic Agreement with Hilco Global to Advance Patent Monetization

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / April 8, 2026 / Datametrex AI Limited (the "Company" or "Datametrex") (TSXV:DM)(FSE:D4G)(OTC PINK:DTMXF) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Paymetrex Payment Solutions Inc. ("Paymetrex"), has entered into an agreement on March 23, 2026 with the IP Services Practice of Hilco Global, a global financial services and advisory firm, to support the monetization of Paymetrex's patent portfolio.

Hilco Global offers a comprehensive suite of intellectual property (IP) advisory and related capabilities across its platform of companies, including valuation, structured sales processes, intellectual property auctions, direct investment, licensing strategies, and brand monetization initiatives. Through this collaboration, Hilco will work with Paymetrex to evaluate and execute on opportunities to unlock value from its patent portfolio.

The engagement will focus in on assessing opportunities related to the rapidly evolving SoftPOS (software point-of-sale) and mobile payment acceptance market, where Paymetrex believes its patent portfolios are vastly relevant.

"We look forward to collaborating with Paymetrex to assess its patent portfolio and identify potential opportunities to drive value through strategic licensing and related initiatives."

The agreement complements Paymetrex's broader initiative to build a structured and data-driven licensing program, including the use of AI-based analytics to identify potential market opportunities and counterparties.

The combination of Paymetrex's patent assets and Hilco's advisory capabilities positions Paymetrex to evaluate and pursue various potential monetization pathways.
