CHICAGO, Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ocean Tomo LLC, the intellectual capital merchant banc™ firm, announced today that the Ocean Tomo Transactions team represented a wireless audio technology company in the sale of its cutting edge wireless audio patent portfolio, which included both granted patents and pending applications, to a leading consumer electronics company.
"When our client recently sold its business, which successfully commercialized the patents, it believed that it could generate greater shareholder value by selling the patents separately from the company," says James Trueman, Managing Director of Ocean Tomo's Advisory Services Group, comprised of transactions and investments advisory.
With the global wireless audio device market estimated to triple in size to over $24.5 billion dollars in the next five years, the acquirer of these patents will be in a much better position to extract value from them through its existing and future products than the seller, a small enterprise.
Mr. Trueman continued, "We are pleased to have been able to help our client successfully execute against its strategy to maximize shareholder value." The parties to and amount of the transaction are confidential.
