NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hilco Streambank announced the continued globalization of its intellectual property advisory services platform with the integration of Hilco Global's European Intellectual Property services office in the U.K. The U.K. office will continue to be managed by Nat Baldwin – Director of Business Development – European Intellectual Property Services.

Over the past year, Hilco Global's European Intellectual Property Services team has been actively working on several high-profile European deals, including the sale of Monarch Airlines' intellectual property assets and most recently the intellectual property assignment from retailer Poundworld which was announced earlier this week. Hilco Global's European division has been particularly active in the retail sector and is rapidly becoming a significant resource for companies seeking intellectual property asset valuations and dispositions in the U.K. 

Fried said, "The Poundworld deal is a great example of leveraging the power of the Hilco Streambank international platform as we aggressively market its intellectual property assets to our network of buyers and sellers around the world."  In a recent press release Hilco Streambank announced details of the Poundworld intellectual property sale which includes the well-known retail brand name, as well as other brand names such as Bargain Buys.  The sale also includes website content, domain names, and organizational knowledge including marketing plans.
