SOUTHLAKE, Texas, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Fusion™ Inc. (OTC: AMFN) (“American Fusion™” or the “Company”), an advanced energy platform company focused on fusion energy technologies, reports continued progress in the development and expansion of its intellectual property portfolio supporting its Texatron™ fusion platform, including ongoing engagement with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and preparation for a significant increase in patent filings.
The Company’s Chief Legal Officer, Micheal Smith is currently responding to communications from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office related to its existing patent applications and continues to advance a portfolio that includes approximately 280 patent filings in progress covering key aspects of its reactor design, supporting systems, and enabling technologies.
In parallel, American Fusion™ is preparing to expand its intellectual property portfolio through a targeted pipeline of additional patent applications, with a development objective of approximately 300 additional filings. These forthcoming applications build upon the Company’s existing portfolio and reflect continued innovation in its Texatron™ fusion platform, with core system design and development led by Chief Technology Officer, Dr. John Brandenburg, including advancements in reactor architecture, plasma behavior, energy conversion, and system-level integration.
Brent Nelson, CEO of Kepler Fusion™ Technologies, added, “We are continuing to expand and formalize the intellectual property around the platform as development progresses. The scope of what we are working on continues to grow, and it is important that we capture and protect those advancements in a structured and disciplined way.”
The Company’s intellectual property strategy is focused on building a defensible and scalable portfolio aligned with long-term commercialization objectives, including applications in high-demand power environments such as industrial systems, grid-constrained infrastructure, and data center applications.
This approach reflects the Company’s broader positioning within emerging energy markets, where increasing power demand, particularly from data infrastructure and advanced computing applications, is driving the need for scalable, high-density energy solutions.
Management believes that continued development and protection of core technologies will be an important component of positioning the Company for future partnerships, licensing opportunities, and broader market engagement.
The Company is actively preparing to file its Form 10-Q for Q1 2026 with the SEC, which should reflect the value of the intellectual property contributed through the merger into AMFN completed on February 27, 2026. Management believes this filing will provide a more accurate representation of the Company’s intrinsic value than the 2025 annual report, which predated the merger, and, while still conservative relative to projected discounted cash flow estimates, will more closely align with valuation under ASC 805 purchase price accounting.
The Company has also engaged an advisory firm to assist in advancing a dual listing of its common stock on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. This engagement is intended to support the Company’s broader capital markets strategy, including expanding access to international investors and aligning with European stakeholders across the energy and advanced technology sectors. There can be no assurance that any such listing will be completed, and the Company will provide updates as appropriate.
In related matters, the Company continues to oppose the plaintiff’s claims in the Delaware Court of Chancery and has filed its motion to dismiss, which is currently pending before the Court. As previously disclosed, the Court has already denied the plaintiff’s motions for injunctive relief and expedited proceedings, finding that the plaintiff failed to establish a colorable claim or a risk of irreparable harm.
Subsequent filings by the plaintiff have been procedural in nature, and the Company does not believe they alter the underlying posture of the case. The Company will continue to respond as appropriate and remains confident in its position as the matter proceeds through the Court’s established process.
