MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Jun 19, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
PGYC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Patriot Energy Corporation (PINKSHEETS: PGYC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) announced today that
it has officially filed its initial lawsuit case file number
500-17051 006-099 on behalf of the company and its shareholders
against Tectane Technologies, Tectane Global, the officers and
directors including but not limited to Nino De Santis for a total of
$157,000,000, making it the largest commercial litigation in the
province of Quebec.

According to court records, Tectane and its President, Nino De Santis
has allegedly sabotaged the all cash offer and the licensing
agreement in order to bypass Patriot Energy and negotiate the offer
for Tectane only. In addition, Tectane has allegedly falsified
official government testing documents, which demonstrate the efficacy
of the Tectane unit. The company intends to pursue other legal claims
in various jurisdiction against Tectane and its management.

The company has also address the cease trade order by the British
Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC), whereby the BCSC claims that
the BC Instrument 51-509 applies to the company. According to Patriot
Energy, it is not subject to BC Instrument 51-509 and therefore the
Cease Trade Order by the BCSC is not binding. However, the company
intends to file a complete disclosure statement on or before July 15,
2009, whereby it will provide details on the all cash purchase offer,
its termination, its distribution agreement, its purchase offer as
well as file its financial statements.

"This situation is serious and we will not let Tectane get away with
such flagrant harmful actions" said Tony Bisante, President of
Patriot Energy Corp. "I have also committed to placing my 82,000,000
shares in escrow as a sign of good faith until we can resolve this
situation and provide accurate accounts of what has happened" further
added Mr. Bisante.

The company also stated that its research and development partners
were working on a hydrogen fuel cell, which is both compact and
extremely stable and that Patriot Energy was granted the right of
first refusal on the marketing of this revolutionary fuel cell. The
company expects to release further information on the fuel cell
partnership upon the release of its phase 3 testing.
