On June 8, 2010, InfoLogix entered into a patent purchase agreement to sell its U.S. patent entitled "Touch Screen Systems and Methods" and its corresponding South Korean patent to Intellectual Ventures Fund 68 LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, for $2.2 million. The Company expects the sale of the patents and assignment of related rights to close within the next 30 days, subject to the terms and conditions of the patent purchase agreement. Upon closing, the Company will be granted certain rights related to the patents and a license to continue to make, use and develop products covered by the patents.
Over the past decade, InfoLogix has cultivated a portfolio of intellectual property that includes 19 patents related to mobility, RFID, wearable computing and the healthcare supply chain. The Company routinely examines new patents for acquisition and reviews the patents and patent applications within its portfolio for their long-term strategic value to the company. As part of this process, the Company determined that it was in its best interests to sell the Touch Screen Systems and Methods patents to Intellectual Ventures Fund 68 LLC.
"In reviewing our portfolio, it became evident that these patents, although not related to our day-to-day business, had potential value and grown significantly from an technological point of view in the open market from when we first acquired them," said David Gulian, President and CEO of InfoLogix. "With the help of our partner The Sage Group, we investigated the various opportunities to maximize their value, such as the pursuit of a licensing or enforcement strategy. We determined that the most effective means for InfoLogix to monetize the Touch Screen Systems and Methods patents was to sell them to Intellectual Ventures Fund 68 LLC. We are attempting to monetize other patents in our portfolio through licensing programs."
"We are proud that The Sage Group IP Path to Value(SM) facilitated InfoLogix in monetizing these patents and that our relationship continues to bring InfoLogix success in determining effective and cost efficient ways to achieve the maximum value from its IP portfolio. The expertise and follow-through of Intellectual Ventures has been instrumental in making this transaction occur in a timely manner," said Tom Miller, Partner at The Sage Group and a board member of InfoLogix.
