Siemens’ Marathon deal highlights the growing importance of ex-US assets for monetisation-focused business models
Patent monetisation firm Marathon Patent Group announced last week that it is buying over 300 patents from German tech giant Siemens. The deal looks to be one of the most significant publicly announced pure patent transactions between an NPE and an operating company in recent months.
The patent purchase agreement will see Marathon’s subsidiaries acquire two portfolios from Siemens and its affiliates.
