Over the past week (October 14–20), several notable patent transactions took place across various industries: 🔹 Kirin Beverage, a Japanese food company, acquired 5 patents from Kao Corporation related to packaged beverages, focusing on beverage composition and heat sterilization techniques. This likely accompanies Kirin's acquisition of Kao's tea-catechin beverage "Healthya" business announced earlier this year. 🔹 Micron Technology continued to divest patent assets to Lodestar Licensing, transferring 9 patents related to methods of forming NAND cell units, including design and fabrication of charge storage transistor gate stacks. 🔹 SLB (formerly Schlumberger Technology), the world's largest oilfield services company, divested 7 patents on oilfield pumping systems involving split stream methods for wellbore fluids to Liberty Oilfield Services. The two companies have a history of collaboration. 🔹 Solvay, a Belgian multinational chemical company, transferred patents related to the process for manufacturing 1,2-epoxy-3-chloropropane to Technip Energies, continuing their close relationship following prior technology acquisitions. 🔹 Realtek, a Taiwanese semiconductor company, acquired 10 patents from China's PanKore Integrated Circuit Technology on flow optimization methods for non-real-time decoding systems. Financial reports indicate PanKore is a subsidiary of Realtek. 🔹 Intellectual Ventures transferred a portfolio of patents—including those on advanced personalized content recommendation systems, efficient LDPC encoders, cookie backup methods, and MIMO communication systems—to Integral Wireless Technologies LLC, possibly an IP holding company for monetization purposes. These transactions highlight strategic developments in intellectual property across various sectors. #KirinBeverage #Micron #SLB #Solvay #Realtek #IntellectualVentures #Innovation #Patents

A leading Silicon Valley tech company transformed its patent prosecution strategy with TriangleIP. Faced with unpredictability in patent approvals and high costs, the company utilized the TIP tool's data-driven insights to streamline decision-making. The results? A 40% increase in strategic filings, a 35% reduction in prosecution costs, and a 30% higher patent allowance rate. The TIP Tool provided critical examiner and patent counsel analytics, turning a complex process into a manageable one.

This article explores how the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), typically used to assess the overall cost of capital for a company, can be adapted to calculate the valuation of patents. By understanding the relationship between WACC and patent-specific risks, we can make informed adjustments to arrive at a more accurate valuation.

Global Technology Transfer Group, Inc. (GTT Group), a world leader in strategic patent analysis and patent transaction services, released its Second Quarter 2024 Patent Transaction Market Report (PTMR) this morning. The report includes the Patent Market Index (PMI®) and the Patent Licensing Index (PLI®) along with sector specific patent activity. Michael Lubitz, Managing Director & Founder of GTT Group commented: “We saw huge upwards corrections in activity as firms looked to bounce back from an acquisition and filing lull in the prior quarters. This partially stemmed from natural lags associated with post transaction recording activity. We also witnessed industry transformation and the emergence of new players that we believe will impact the remainder of the year and into the first half of 2025.” To read the full press release visit https://lnkd.in/gyWmJKTa.
