Is this the beginning of a trend as buyers seek value and protection and sellers seek free cash flow? We have just seen the most patent deals in any one quarter since 2010 (when records began). 340 deals in January to March 2020 involving 6,525 assets, 305 sellers and 303 buyers.
In this quarter: - Significant increase in NPE litigation since March with a 4x increase in automotive - 33 new NPEs bought assets - Most deals were by and with operating companies (ie not NPEs) - The biggest sectors in order: Healthcare & Pharma; Industrial; Software; Electronics - The biggest sellers were IV; IBM: LG and Nokia - Slack bought assets #patents #iprights #patentmonetization #patentbrokerage #portfoliomanagement #assetmanagement https://lnkd.in/dNsGxNS
