Recent Acquisitions Suggest Patent Market is Alive
Recent intellectual property transactions through the first wuarter of 2015 indicate there are at least some signs that the patent marketplace is becoming more active, writes Gene Quinn at IPWatchdog.
“There have been a number of high profile acquisitions in the pharmaceutical space over the last four months, and last week Sony acquired OnLive’s patent portfolio,” he writes. And Akamai Technologies Inc. announced that it had acquired Octoshape, which will give Akamai access to Octoshape technologies that optimize the quality of video streams for over-the-top content and to enable Internet Protocol television solutions.
And over the last several months there have been a number of blockbuster deals in the pharmaceutical sector.
