The Fort Worth Press - Helio Begins Formal IP Buildout to Capture Value in Expanding Space Market

As commercial activity in space and the moon accelerate, Helio believes the sector is entering a pivotal phase defined by a race for intellectual property. Since its founding in 2018, the Company has positioned itself as a core engineering partner or "Problem Solver" to the space industry, developing proprietary systems spanning space-based energy, satellite platforms, and advanced antenna technologies.

The Company's trademark filings are an early step in a larger effort to formalize and strengthen its intellectual property posture across multiple areas of the business, reinforcing Helio's ability to scale commercialization efforts while maintaining a consistent and defensible market presence. The trademark filings represent an initial layer of a broader, board-level intellectual property initiative aimed at systematically protecting both brand and technical innovation.

These applications are now pending before the USPTO. As the Company continues to expand its presence in the lunar and space sector, the brand protection initiative is designed to reduce risk associated with brand confusion and imitation, strengthen continuity across the Company's product and services roadmap, and support a consistent market identity across existing programs and new opportunities.

In parallel, Helio is advancing efforts to secure patents on new developments while retroactively protecting existing trade secrets, ensuring that its engineering achievements are fully captured as long-term strategic assets. In addition to core technology and product development, Helio is taking steps to protect branding assets that appear in customer facing materials, technical documentation, program communications, and other channels central to how the Company delivers and represents its solutions.

Through the efforts of Vikas "Vik" Parti, independent director and Chairman of Intellectual Property at Helio, the company is advancing this initiative under experienced legal and technical leadership. Mr. Parti, a Registered Patent Attorney with the United States Patent and Trademark Office since 2009, brings extensive experience in patent preparation, prosecution, and litigation-ready claim analysis. In his role, Mr. Parti is leading the Company's intellectual property strategy, supporting the development, protection, and expansion of Helio's growing portfolio of proprietary technologies and brand assets.

By aligning its intellectual property strategy with its product and technology roadmap, Helio is building a structured portfolio designed to evolve alongside its platforms and programs. This includes the development of a "picket fence" of patents and proprietary claims intended to strengthen differentiation, support freedom to operate, and unlock licensing and partnership opportunities as the space economy scales.

"As we continue to advance our engineering capabilities and expand our role in the commercial space ecosystem, it is critical that we protect not only the technologies we develop, but also the brand and identity," said Ed Cabrera, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Helio Corporation. "We view intellectual property as a core driver of long-term value creation and a key enabler of strategic partnerships, commercialization, and sustained growth."

The Company expects to continue evaluating and strengthening its intellectual property portfolio in supporting product, technology, and commercialization efforts.
