CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – April 23, 2012 – M·CAM, Inc. released its Patently Obvious® report today on MIPS Technologies, Inc.

On April 13, 2012, news surfaced that processor designer MIPS Technologies had hired Goldman Sachs to help identify potential buyers for the firm. Considering MIPS is a company that derives its revenue from licensing and royalties, this sale would include a nearly 600 count patent portfolio. Potential buyers would be very well-advised to perform rigorous diligence on the MIPS intellectual properties to “right-size” the transaction.

M·CAM’s Patently Obvious® is a weekly report providing visibility into potentially unconsidered alternatives, including art in the public domain, to patent holdings across a variety of technology areas.
