Spectral Capital Corporation Achieves 500-Patent Milestone

Advancing One of the World's Largest AI and Quantum-Forward Digital Infrastructure IP Libraries

SEATTLE, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Spectral Capital Corporation (OTCQB: FCCN) ("Spectral" or the "Company") today announced that it has transmitted its 500th patent filing to intellectual property counsel, achieving a major innovation milestone that the Company had targeted for December 31, 2025.

The milestone reflects Spectral's continued execution of its long-term intellectual property strategy focused on building a deep, defensible portfolio of patentable innovations spanning artificial intelligence, quantum-forward computing, digital infrastructure, and next-generation telecommunications technologies.

Spectral's growing patent library includes innovations across AI and machine learning systems, quantum-forward architectures, telecom-related semiconductors, middleware platforms, AI-driven load balancing and switching technologies, cybersecurity systems, and advanced billing and network orchestration frameworks.

"This milestone represents far more than a number—it reflects years of disciplined innovation and a clear strategic vision," said Jenifer Osterwalder, Chief Executive Officer of Spectral Capital Corporation. "Completing our 500th patent application on schedule underscores the depth of our technical roadmap and the scale at which Spectral is inventing across AI, quantum-forward computing, and digital infrastructure. We believe intellectual property at this level becomes a foundational asset for long-term value creation."

The Company also announced that it intends to surpass the 1,000-patent milestone by the end of 2026, as Spectral continues to accelerate invention output across its operating subsidiaries and affiliated technology platforms.

With its expanding portfolio, Spectral aims to establish one of the largest AI- and quantum-forward digital infrastructure patent libraries in the world, supporting its strategy to enable, acquire, and integrate advanced technology companies that can benefit from Spectral's proprietary architectures, systems, and platforms.

"Our patent strategy is designed to anticipate where AI-native infrastructure, quantum-forward computing, and intelligent networks are going—not where they've been," Osterwalder added. "This portfolio positions Spectral to remain at the forefront of innovation as these technologies converge."
