One of the leading benchmarking outfits
deriving IP (intellectual property) and intangible asset valuations over the
years has been industry-leading financial products and IP-related services
provider, Ocean Tomo. Their report published early last month showed that as of
January 2015, intangible assets grew an additional 4% from previous
calculations performed a decade ago, hitting a record 84% of implied intangible
asset value for the S&P 500, meaning that more than ever before the vast
majority of a company’s valuation resides firmly in their IP. High profile
deals like the Lenovo (OTC: LNVGY) acquisition of Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOG)
Motorola Mobility unit late last year, which amped up Lenovo and made the
company one of the biggest players in the smartphone market, as they captured
the entire range of devices from DROID to Moto X, as well as 2k patents and
several patent cross-license agreements, shows just how hot the IP market is
these days.
The long-running patent disputes between
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Samsung (OTC: SSNLF) is another key indicator here and
the recent granting of several smartwatch patents to Samsung, with diagrams
showing a round display smartwatch filed last year, puts Samsung in a position
to contend directly with the Apple Watch and more fashionable Moto 360 in the
rapidly emerging wearables category. TechNavio recently forecast that the
global smartphone market is on track to realize an 8.1% CAGR through 2019 and
this thriving environment creates a huge number of opportunities for
keenly-focused players like Silicon Valley-based IP specialists Inventergy
Global (NASDAQ:INVT), which leverages the immense experience of its veteran
management team (that has handled over $15 billion in IP and tech transactions
between them for global companies), to locate, acquire, and license significant
tech patents.
With smartphones sales posting their
highest ever growth at the end of 2014, up 20.3% in Q3 (66% of entire mobile
market) according to Gartner, as low-cost Android smartphones and China’s
booming market (460 million units in FY 2014, or 35% of global market) helped
propel units shipped to all new highs, the launch last month of Inventergy
Global’s new collaborative Mobile User Device licensing initiative for the
company’s extensive 3G/LTE mobility patent portfolio, consisting of over 500
assets acquired from Panasonic (OTC: PCRFY), comes into strikingly sharp focus.
The new licensing initiative provides standardized rates and terms to mobile
equipment manufacturers and includes key patents that cover technical standards
compliance technologies, known as SEPs (Standards Essential Patents). This
superb initiative grants the company an increasingly diverse continuum of
opportunities with mobile phone and device manufacturers, for a wide variety of
IP licensing deals.
The execution this month of a successful
series of definitive stock purchase agreements with institutional investors and
accredited investors (set to have closed yesterday), valued at $2.15 million
($0.46/share), goes a long ways towards supporting the enhanced application of
the company’s IP licensing strategy and the $2 million license arrangement
announced in February of this year with a mid-tier IMS/VoIP telecom, should
give investors further evidence of INVT’s momentum and methodology. Especially
when you look at their reorganization of wholly-owned subsidiary eOn
Communications Systems last month, with a decided emphasis on turning the
subsidiary into a leaner and more profitable operation that can act as a
revenue stream in support of INVT’s core patent licensing programs, as well as
monetization and patent asset acquisition activities.
Not interested in being yet another
patent troll, Inventergy is a serious IP licensing partner that is dedicated to
creating mutually symbiotic arrangements. The company is more than just a
shrewd developer of IP value with over a century of combined industry
experience among its management, focused on structured IP licensing and value
creation strategies. INVT is a true investment operation, meaning they put
their own skin in the game and are in it for the long haul, representing an
extremely attractive proposition for clients in the current environment.
With both the expertise, tech savvy and
network of key, connected relationships within the industry needed to get the
job done, Inventergy can act as an external source with the muscle to do what
most companies simply cannot do themselves, fully realize the value of their
intangible assets. Few companies today can boast similar prowess, as well as
genuineness, when it comes to extracting the full potential of a company’s IP
assets and INVT can help companies really go beyond typical R&D or legal
protection, acting as a one-stop-shop ally for market leaders looking to
harness their IP assets.
