Client Realizes Portfolio Potential

EverEdge provided the client with a solid strategy, asset development and the sale transaction path, based on using commercially-targeted portfolio segments and then bringing multiple competing bidders to the table.  The integration of extensive homework gave the client the comfort that that he would realise the maximum return feasible from a sale strategy option.

A small company developed a last mile wireless access system to allow broadband data and “toll” quality voice services to residential and small business customers. An investor group purchased corporate assets on the company’s bankruptcy, including 30 issued patents and open applications.

EverEdge provided the client with key analysis, development process and a network of buyers. We worked intensively with the client to solve the challenges of technology analysis in an evolving and asset development in bringing the portfolio to market at the optimum point in time. 

EverEdge invested its own resources to understand the technology and develop the patent assets, which entailed working with outside technical and legal experts. Concurrently, we researched the commercial marketplace for the project patents’ technology.  We were then able to integrate all of the work product to create evidence of value in the form of multiple claim charts against specific commercial products and technical standards.

This effort was supplemented with a detailed sales offering package and focused business case packages. We worked with a subset of our buyer network to understand their needs and appetites for the assets and also further developed the broader list of worldwide buyers.

These buyer discussions in the initial stages of marketing the portfolio led us to fine tune the offering to break out five segments having the most marketplace appeal and then customize the marketing materials to match the segments.

Over a many-months’ long sale process, EverEdge worked one-on-one with serious buyers using claim charts and business cases, to show buyers the impact and value proposition for how they could realise quantifiable benefits through ownership of each separate segment of the portfolio.

EverEdge provided the client with a solid strategy, asset development and the sale transaction path, based on using commercially-targeted portfolio segments and then bringing multiple competing bidders to the table.  The integration of extensive homework gave the client the comfort that that he would realise the maximum return feasible from a sale strategy option. The client is now poised to realise that full potential from developing and monetizing those mobility patent assets acquired many years earlier.
