Exhibit 99.1

ParkerVision Reports First Quarter 2026 Results

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 7, 2026 – ParkerVision, Inc. (OTCQB: PRKR) (“ParkerVision” or the "Company"), a developer and marketer of technologies and products for wireless applications, today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

2026 Summary and Recent Developments

•

The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("CAFC") granted the Company's motion for an expedited schedule in its appeal of ParkerVision v. Qualcomm (CAFC case no. 26-1033) and oral arguments are scheduled for

June 1, 2026.

◦

The Company appealed the May 30, 2025 claim construction ruling made by the district court (Middle District of Florida) which led to a stipulation of noninfringement of the Company's receiver patent claims. The district court severed and stayed the remaining transmitter patent claims in the case pending the decision of the appellate court.

◦

The briefings to the CAFC and the oral arguments on June 1, 2026 will address the merits of the appeal and a request for the case to be assigned to a new judge, as well as address whether the CAFC has proper jurisdiction based on a motion to dismiss the appeal filed by Qualcomm.

•

The Company's first patent infringement trial against MediaTek in the Western District of Texas was postponed by the district court, just days prior to the scheduled trial, pending resubmission of expert reports and related briefings by the parties.

◦

A revised scheduling order has been issued for MediaTek providing for submission of revised expert reports by the Company by May 8, 2026, submission of MediaTek's responsive expert reports in June 2026, and final deadlines for pretrial motions by the end of July 2026. A trial commencement date has not yet been established.

•

The Company's patent infringement trial against Realtek in the Western District of Texas, originally scheduled to commence in late April 2026, was postponed by the district court citing the same reasons as the MediaTek case.

◦

In April 2026, it was reported that Judge Albright, the district court judge assigned to each of ParkerVision's Texas cases, will be leaving the bench, and on April 24, 2026, Albright issued an order vacating all pending dates for a number of cases, including ParkerVision v. Realtek.

Jeffrey Parker, CEO of ParkerVision, commented, “We are very appreciative that the CAFC has continued to move expeditiously with respect to our Qualcomm appeal, and we are eager to argue the merits of our appeal to the panel on June 1st. This case has now surpassed the twelve-year anniversary of our initial filing in district court, and I believe at this point, we have proven our determination to have this case heard by a jury and our willingness to persevere."

Mr. Parker continued, "We had hoped to be reporting on the jury results of two Texas cases by this time. While we are disappointed in the shift in the timeline, we do believe the court, by giving us an opportunity to modify our expert reports, has given us guidance in ensuring those reports are less vulnerable to challenges by others. We are eagerly awaiting insight into the judicial changes in the Western District of Texas and how that might impact our pending cases in Waco, Texas."

Financial Results

•

ParkerVision reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 of $1.6 million, or $0.01 per common share, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million, or $0.03 per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

◦

The decrease in net loss is primarily the result of a $2.1 million decrease in loss resulting from increases in the estimated fair value of the Company's contingent payment obligations. The changes in fair value, and resulting losses recognized, result from changes in estimated probabilities, amounts and timing of projected future repayments of the Company's contingent payment obligations. The assumptions used in these estimates are highly subjective and may not be reflective of amounts repaid in the future which are contingent upon receipt of proceeds from patent enforcement, licensing and other patent-related items.

•

The Company used approximately $0.9 million in cash for operations for the first three months of 2026 and ended the quarter with $3.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.
