Major Auto Manufacturer Patent Monetization – Press Release

Evanston, Illinois (July 9, 2014) – According to the Harvard Business Review, two-thirds of U.S. companies own unused or significantly underused technology. Cardinal Intellectual Properties (CIP), a global leader in intellectual property services and premier provider of patent research, helps clients to identify opportunities to gain new revenue or reduce costs by putting such technology or other IP assets to use. Most recently, CIP brokered the sale of a client’s safety product patent portfolio with a major auto manufacturing company (Fortune 50).

CIP was sought out by their client to investigate sales and licensing opportunities through an evaluation of its extensive patent portfolio. As part of the monetization effort, CIP identified numerous key patents, assigned value, and marketed the patents to potential buyers, leading to the sale of their client’s large safety patent portfolio.

“With our team valuating their portfolio, our professionals discovered information our client may not have realized otherwise,” Nathan Frederick, Director of Litigation Services, said. “Through our analysis, CIP was able to bring our client unrealized capital gains and properly position their portfolio to maximize its value and ROI. That is at the heart of what our patent monetization practice is all about – we take a proactive approach and individualize it based upon our clients’ specific needs.”
