CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA November 14, 2014 – The United Kingdom’s Intellectual Property Office has released a report on “IP Markets and Enabling Information Ecosystems” in which M·CAM’s expertise as an intangible asset underwriter is featured on page 22.

“Many intellectual property insurance products focus on underwriting the legal costs of defending and pursuing claims in cases of infringement. Few providers underwrite the actual value of an asset.

One such provider across multiple intellectual property and intangible asset sectors is M·CAM.”

M·CAM releases Patently Obvious® on Microsoft’s Cross-License With Nokia

Date:  Wed, 2014-07-30

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA July 30, 2014- M·CAM released its Patently Obvious® on Microsoft’s Cross-License with Nokia

The degree to which Microsoft’s global cross-license with Nokia could impair Nokia’s entire patent portfolio is not clear in public statements made by the firms or accounts of regulators’ competitiveness reviews. Nearly 20% of Microsoft’s patent portfolio either coincides with or is subsequent to Nokia’s patents on similar technologies. This may present a material consideration for investors in both Microsoft and Nokia. Given recent events in China, the cumulative effect could, at best, be a decreased enterprise and equity value for both firms. At worst, it could expose both companies to risks from the third parties who hold competitive alternative patents or potentially invalidating prior art.
