PALO ALTO, Calif. and RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 13, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adapt IP Ventures was retained by patent attorney, Bao Tran, to broker the sale of a patent portfolio of over 30 issued US patents and pending applications. Over 400 patent documents cite this diverse patent portfolio owned by Tran, the leading groups including Qualcomm, Microsoft, HP, IBM and Google.

A seasoned patent prosecutor – including tenures at Fish & Richardson, Align Technologies and Tran & Associates (present) - Tran maintains significant experience in the patent monetization process. Tran has sold numerous patent assets, including a patent portfolio related to data capture and management to Palm, now Hewlett-Packard, over a decade ago. In regard to his most recent grouping of patents, favorable market conditions have motivated Tran to monetize his portfolio at the present time.
Adapt IP Vice President, Brian Bochicco, further comments, "In the past twelve months, we have brokered several deals focused on home automation, mobile, and video technologies, with most of these offerings having yielded multiple bids. Accordingly, we believe the breadth and depth of Bao Tran's patented portfolio across these specific technology segments will spur interest in his IP in the near term."
Adapt IP plans to actively market these assets to a broad group of companies though all interested parties should contact Brian at brian@adaptipventures.com to receive offering materials.
