(collectively, “Samsung”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, for infringement of certain patents within Network-1’s M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio. The lawsuit alleges that Samsung infringes Network-1’s patents by supporting certain eSIM (embedded Subscriber Identification Module) and 5G technologies in its mobile devices, including its Galaxy smartphones, watches and tablets.
On March 31, 2025, Network-1 acquired a patent portfolio from IoT and M2M Technologies, LLC, relating to, among other things, enabling technology to support the interoperability of smart home IoT devices (the “Smart Home Patent Portfolio”). The Smart Home Patent Portfolio currently consists of eight (8) U.S. patents and one (1) international patent as well as eleven (11) U.S. pending patent applications and five (5) pending international patents.
On June 17, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized an extension and increase of Network-1’s share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) to repurchase up to $5,000,000 of common stock over the subsequent 24-month period. The common stock may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions at Network-1’s discretion except for repurchases under its 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of the shares repurchased is determined by management, except for repurchases under its 10b5-1 plans, based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The Share Repurchase Program may be increased, suspended or discontinued at any time. Since the inception of the Share Repurchase Program through June 30, 2025, Network-1 has repurchased an aggregate of 10,525,705 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $20,185,549 (exclusive of commissions) or an average per share price of $1.92.

As of June 30, 2025, Network-1 had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $38,485,000 and working capital of $38,288,000. Based on its current cash position, Network-1 believes it has sufficient resources to fund operations for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.
Network-1 continues to pay dividends consistent with its dividend policy, which consists of semi-annual cash dividends of $0.05 per share ($0.10 per share annually), typically paid in March and September. On February 19, 2025, Network-1’s Board of Directors declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.05 per share, paid on March 28, 2025 to shareholders of record as of March 14, 2025.

Rocket CRM has rolled out a series of intelligent updates aimed at strengthening customer relationship management by refining automation, improving data accuracy, and aligning internal operations. These developments are part of an ongoing initiative to help organizations better manage their interactions with customers in a more structured, responsive, and scalable manner.
Customer relationship management has evolved from basic contact management to a more strategic framework that touches every phase of the customer lifecycle. Businesses are increasingly seeking tools that go beyond data storage, focusing instead on actionable insights, automated processes, and integration across departments. The latest enhancements to Rocket CRM reflect these shifting priorities, offering users greater control and adaptability in managing complex relationship dynamics.
A central element of effective customer relationship management is consistency. In many businesses, inconsistencies in follow-ups, delayed responses, or outdated records can lead to missed opportunities and a weakened customer experience. Rocket CRM addresses this challenge with new automation flows that ensure tasks are executed based on real-time events. Whether it’s sending follow-up communication, assigning a lead, or notifying relevant stakeholders, the system reacts to triggers in a timely and predefined manner, reducing dependency on manual workflows.
Another focus area is the quality and usability of customer data. Fragmented or outdated information often results in inefficient decision-making and misaligned outreach efforts. The recent updates include improved synchronization tools that unify customer data across multiple sources such as email platforms, web forms, and third-party integrations. These tools operate in the background, automatically updating records to maintain data reliability and relevance throughout every team that relies on them.
Rocket CRM has also placed emphasis on making its customer relationship management capabilities accessible to a wider range of users within an organization. The visual workflow builder allows teams to construct and customize CRM processes without the need for coding expertise. Users can define conditions, map sequences, and test scenarios using an interface that visually represents the customer journey. This approach ensures that businesses can tailor CRM strategies to fit their specific operational structures and objectives.
Monitoring customer interactions over time is another key aspect of relationship management. Rocket CRM now offers improved visibility into communication timelines and engagement patterns, enabling teams to understand where customers are in their journey and which actions are most effective at each stage. Automated logging of calls, emails, and form submissions creates a complete history of interactions, allowing teams to avoid duplication, stay informed, and maintain continuity even as responsibilities shift between departments.
One of the newer additions to Rocket CRM’s capabilities involves intelligent task prioritization. By analyzing interaction frequency, customer sentiment, and behavioral patterns, the system can surface high-priority contacts or accounts that may require attention. These insights are built into the task and notification systems, helping teams allocate their time where it matters most. This approach enhances proactive relationship building and minimizes the risk of customer disengagement.
Customer support functionality has also been aligned more closely with core CRM operations. The system now supports more refined case tracking and automated ticket assignments based on contact history and issue type. When a customer submits a query, the CRM can route it to the appropriate support tier, populate relevant historical data, and initiate follow-up workflows — reducing delays and ensuring that support teams are better equipped to resolve concerns efficiently.
For businesses that work with external platforms, Rocket CRM continues to enhance its interoperability. The platform supports secure data exchange with a wide range of systems including marketing tools, finance software, and customer engagement platforms. This allows businesses to centralize customer relationship management without disrupting their existing digital ecosystems. Data mapping tools help ensure that information moves cleanly between systems, supporting both operational workflows and analytics initiatives.
Security and privacy are fundamental in systems managing customer relationships. The platform’s updates incorporate enhanced permission structures, allowing organizations to restrict access to sensitive information based on role or department. Automated compliance checks and encryption protocols are built into the system’s operations, ensuring that customer data is protected while maintaining alignment with industry regulations.
Understanding performance is a core aspect of managing relationships over time. Rocket CRM offers improved reporting modules that tie automation and engagement data into easily interpretable dashboards. Managers can see which customer segments are most responsive, which workflows yield the best results, and where adjustments may be needed. These insights support long-term strategy development and day-to-day optimization.
The underlying vision of Rocket CRM’s approach to customer relationship management is to balance automation with personalization. By offloading routine tasks to the system, teams can concentrate on higher-value engagements that require human insight. This blend ensures that customers receive timely, relevant, and thoughtful interactions at scale, even as organizations grow or adapt to new business models.
As organizations continue to face new challenges in customer engagement, technology plays a critical role in supporting sustainable growth. Rocket CRM’s recent updates are part of a broader roadmap that includes the integration of machine learning, expanded analytics, and deeper customization options in future releases. These planned developments are intended to help businesses remain adaptable while continuing to deliver high-quality customer experiences.
By reinforcing its commitment to structured, scalable, and intelligent customer relationship management, Rocket CRM provides organizations with tools to unify their operations and strengthen customer trust. The platform’s continued investment in automation, data accuracy, and cross-functional alignment ensures that businesses have the foundation necessary to build lasting relationships in increasingly dynamic environments.
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 8, 2025 / Across industries and regions, momentum around recycling has shifted from aspiration to regulation. Governments are now setting minimum recycled content thresholds, enforcing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws, and pushing for detailed audit trails-all in an effort to accelerate the shift from linear to circular economies.
It’s a major step forward – and one that advocacy groups like the Plastic Pollution Coalition (PPC) have long championed. Their tireless efforts to raise awareness, challenge greenwashing, and push for stronger legislation have helped shape the global conversation about plastic waste and corporate accountability.
But even they’ve pointed to the disconnect: intent doesn’t equal impact without real enforcement. If the world is going to regulate recycled content and close the loop on plastic, it needs systems that go beyond slogans. That’s where SMX (Security Matters) (NASDAQ:SMX) enters – not as a disruptor, regulator, or judge, but as a silent partner in verification.
SMX doesn’t shape recycling policy. But once that policy is written, it provides the tools to help make it real. Because if circularity is going to be measured, it needs a way to be seen – from the inside out. And that’s exactly what SMX enables.
Policy Is Leading, Now It Needs Infrastructure to Keep Pace
It also makes circularity economically viable through material efficiency. SMX’s technology allows companies to reintroduce their own materials – those that have already completed lifecycle one, two, three, or more-into new production cycles without sacrificing quality, performance, or brand identity.
This means premium and original brand goods can be made from their own recycled inputs, with full traceability and without compromising intellectual property or brand integrity. At the corporate level, this capability unlocks meaningful cost advantages: eliminating dependence on virgin material amid geopolitical risks, reducing insurance exposure, and meeting corporate sustainability mandates with traceable proof. In short, SMX turns reuse into an asset – not a liability – making sustainability, and circularity, not only possible, but practical and profitable.
And this tool comes at a time when demand for it could soar. The EU has mandated 30% recycled content in PET beverage bottles. U.S. states like California and Washington are implementing their own minimum thresholds. Global brands from Coca-Cola to Unilever have pledged to increase the use of post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials across packaging and product lines.
This is progress-and it deserves recognition.
But as mandates expand, so do the challenges. Recycled content is notoriously difficult to audit. Paperwork can be inconsistent. Labels are often self-reported. And material flows cross continents, making traceability even harder to enforce.
That’s not a failure of leadership. It’s a limitation of the tools available to support it.
Tracking The Circular Chain Through Material Efficiency
SMX provides a way to track and trace materials at the molecular level – embedding invisible markers into plastics and other recyclables at the point of origin. These markers stay with the material throughout its lifecycle, allowing for real-time verification of where it came from, how it was processed, and whether it meets regulatory standards.
It doesn’t replace regulation. It supports it – with verifiable data that can’t be altered, removed, or faked. And with SMX’s Plastic Cycle Token (PCT), that verification becomes more than just compliance-it becomes measurable value. The PCT enables materials with verified recycled content to be accounted for, traded, and even monetized through trusted digital infrastructure.
It’s how circularity evolves from ambition to execution-and from execution to economic reward.
Recycled Content Isn’t a Label, It Should Be a Ledger
The Plastic Pollution Coalition is right to call out misleading claims and superficial fixes. But what they – and others – are emphasizing is the need for systems with teeth. Not more paperwork. More proof.
For governments, that means issuing certifications based on facts, not estimates. For brands, it means finally being able to support sustainability claims with embedded data – not marketing language that vanishes in the supply chain. And for consumers, it means being able to trust that “100% recycled” really means what it says.
SMX doesn’t judge the claim. It simply provides the means to prove it – or not.
That shifts recycled content from slogan to asset – verifiable, traceable, and even monetizable. And it levels the playing field by exposing gaps without assigning blame.
Circularity Can’t Be a Guess; It Has to Be Accountable
Let’s be clear: SMX isn’t here to write recycling mandates or enforce them. That work is being done – by policymakers, global brands, and advocacy groups like PPC, who continue to push for systems that are measurable, not theoretical.
But success takes more than vision. It requires infrastructure. Because if recycled content is going to be regulated, it also needs to be accounted for – not just estimated. And certainly not just once at the end of a product’s life, but continuously, from production to reuse.
That’s where SMX technology – and its Plastic Cycle Token (PCT) – fortifies the system, turning verified circularity into something measurable, tradable, and reportable. It transforms sustainability from a promise into a performance-based asset class, grounded in verifiable truth rather than aspirational claims. With precision, accountability, and trust built directly into the product, SMX delivers the infrastructure needed to make circularity real-and make it work.
As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

Rocket CRM has announced an expansion of its workflow intelligence features, enhancing its CRM automation system to better support businesses in managing the entire customer lifecycle. This development aligns with the growing demand for intelligent solutions that can improve internal efficiencies while supporting personalized and scalable customer experiences.
CRM platforms have long served as a central hub for managing sales pipelines, marketing outreach, and customer service interactions. However, as customer expectations evolve, organizations are seeking ways to reduce friction in these processes while maintaining quality and responsiveness. The extended automation features from Rocket CRM are designed to reduce reliance on manual inputs, accelerate task execution, and unify communication across customer-facing teams.
At the center of this update is a more advanced rules-based engine capable of interpreting a wider range of business conditions. Teams can create automated workflows that are triggered by customer behaviors, internal milestones, or external integrations. For example, when a lead meets specific engagement criteria, the system can automatically assign a sales representative, initiate a tailored email sequence, and schedule a follow-up task all without user intervention.
In many traditional CRM systems, automation has been limited to simple task assignments or calendar reminders. Rocket CRM’s new capabilities allow for deeper logic and branching conditions, making it possible to construct multi-step processes that adapt dynamically based on customer interactions. This flexibility enables businesses to align workflows more closely with actual buyer journeys, improving timing and relevance.
Customer data accuracy is another area addressed by the platform’s recent updates. Errors in data entry or delays in updates can lead to miscommunication and lost opportunities. Rocket CRM introduces background processes that automatically update contact records based on customer interactions, such as form submissions, email responses, or activity on integrated third-party tools. This ensures that team members have the most current and reliable information at every touchpoint.
Additionally, the expanded automation features support internal process governance. Organizations can create role-based workflows that ensure accountability across departments. For instance, when a high-priority opportunity is marked as closed-won, the system can notify finance, initiate onboarding processes, and alert customer success teams ensuring a smooth transition between teams and reducing operational silos.
Integration remains a key part of Rocket CRM’s approach to automation. The platform supports interoperability with a variety of external systems, such as email marketing platforms, helpdesk software, and finance tools. These integrations are supported by automation connectors that allow for the seamless flow of data across systems. By synchronizing actions across departments, businesses can reduce manual handoffs and create a more cohesive operational structure.
As part of this release, Rocket CRM also enhances its automation tracking and monitoring functions. System administrators can now view detailed logs of automated processes, including triggers, outcomes, and timing. This transparency enables organizations to refine workflows over time and ensure that automated actions are achieving their intended goals. It also helps in troubleshooting issues that may arise due to changing business requirements or customer behaviors.
Automation is increasingly being recognized not just as a convenience, but as a strategic asset. When implemented effectively, it enables organizations to respond to customer inquiries faster, close sales more efficiently, and manage post-sale relationships more thoughtfully. With the ability to model complex workflows, Rocket CRM aims to provide a platform that scales alongside a business’s growth while maintaining a high level of consistency and performance.
Security considerations have also been integrated into this round of updates. Automation processes are built to respect user access roles and data visibility restrictions, ensuring that sensitive information is only available to those with appropriate permissions. Encrypted data handling and audit trails add additional layers of control and compliance, especially important for organizations operating in regulated environments.
The interface for configuring automation workflows has been updated for clarity and usability. Users can now create and edit workflows using a visual builder that supports conditional logic, delays, and multi-step branches. This design allows both technical and non-technical users to model business processes accurately and test them before deployment.
Beyond process execution, Rocket CRM’s automation system now supports analytics capture as part of its workflows. Businesses can configure steps that log key performance metrics automatically, such as response times, engagement rates, or sales progression speeds. This data is then made available in the system’s reporting tools, allowing decision-makers to assess the efficiency of automated processes and make informed adjustments.
Organizations that adopt automation are often better positioned to focus on strategic objectives, as employees are freed from low-value tasks. By assigning repetitive activities to the system, teams can concentrate on innovation, customer strategy, and relationship-building. This shift not only improves morale but also leads to higher-quality customer interactions over time.
Rocket CRM’s development of more intelligent automation workflows represents a continued investment in operational agility for its users. As customer journeys become more nuanced and multi-channel in nature, businesses require tools that can adapt quickly and operate reliably at scale. The platform’s enhancements offer businesses a path toward streamlined operations without compromising on personalization or responsiveness.
Looking ahead, Rocket CRM continues to explore further enhancements in automation intelligence, including deeper machine learning integration and predictive capabilities. These advancements are expected to play a significant role in how businesses proactively manage relationships and opportunities in increasingly competitive environments.
