CAMPBELL, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 15, 2016) - Inventergy Global, Inc. (
Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2016 include:
- Revenue of $1.4 million.
- Launched a new technology licensing business initiative, Inventergy Innovations and signed five new partnership agreements.
- Raised $1.3 million in a registered direct offering plus raised $369,000 from all of the directors and an affiliate to drive monetization efforts and to accelerate growth for its Inventergy Innovations subsidiary.
- Announced a settlement with Sonus Networks and received payment for licensing Inventergy's IMS and VoIP patents.
- Granted 23 new patents in telecommunications and mobile broadband.
"Our results thus far in 2016 included expected revenues from completed patent monetization transactions, as well as continuing cost control measures initiated last year," CEO and Chairman Joe Beyers said. "Our financing transactions have enabled us to invest more aggressively in patent monetization efforts and we are making substantial progress with the opportunities in our pipeline."
Beyers continued, "The first half of 2016 has been a transformative period for Inventergy, as we enhanced our corporate strategy to launch a business initiative to commercialize a broader range of IP assets and innovations beyond our current telecommunications industry patent assets. This is significant for several reasons -- first this strategy allows us to reach technology commercialization in a more efficient and quicker way, and second, it diversifies our revenue opportunities with lower up-front capital and lower operating costs. In a short period of time, we have already signed three commercial agreements and two letters of intent with an additional 11 potential opportunities.
