Cutting-Edge Robotics and Entertainment Patent Portfolio Available for Sale

NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hilco Streambank, a leading advisory firm specializing in the sale of intellectual property assets, is marketing for sale an extensive patent portfolio covering robotics and entertainment technology developed and commercialized by Anki, as well as supporting assets including trademarks.  The assets are being offered by DSI Assignments, LLC, solely in its capacity as assignee for the benefit of creditors.

The technology supports three popular and widely adopted products developed by Anki, including Overdrive (autonomous cars controlled by a gamer's mobile phone via Overdrive app to create an intelligent battle racing system), Cozmo (an AI-powered robot that was the #1 best-selling toy on Amazon in 2016 and 2017), and Vector (a home robot for gadget lovers that recognizes people, takes pictures and provides answers to questions).

The opportunity affords a buyer an opportunity to acquire 45 issued utility patents and hundreds of additional patent assets, and the prospect of continuing to support products which generated more than $118 million in revenue for fiscal year 2018.

"A patent portfolio with broad claims to technology supporting revenue-generating devices such as Overdrive, Cozmo and Vector rarely comes to market in a situation such as this," remarked Geoffrey L. Berman, Senior Managing Director of DSI Assignments.  Gabe Fried, CEO of Hilco Streambank, added, "We have seen a lot of interest from both buyers of patent portfolios as well as strategics looking to continue to support these devices."

Offers for some or all of the assets are due on November 21, 2019, although the seller will entertain offers received prior to that date.
