NeoMedia partners with Global IP Law Group for Patent Monetization
Atlanta, September 19, 2011 - NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM.OB), the global leader in mobile barcode scanning solutions, today announced a new partnership with Global IP Law Group (giplg.com), an elite law firm focused on unlocking the financial potential of intellectual property (IP). The alliance has been planned to assist in the monetization and enforcement of NeoMedia’s IP and extricate further value from its large patent portfolio. NeoMedia’s IP portfolio currently consists of over sixty issued and pending patents.
“Global IP Law Group is a leader in IP monetization and partnering with them is an important step forward in driving value for our IP portfolio. This partnership allows us to realize the potential of our efforts and innovations, further strengthening our existing partnerships. Mobile has become a key media channel for brands and agencies globally, and our IP and technology has been a key component,” said Laura Marriott, Chief Executive Officer of NeoMedia Technologies, Inc.
Global IP concentrates on all aspects of monetizing intellectual property (particularly patents) through sales, licensing, and litigation. Over the last five years, the partners of Global IP have obtained nearly US $5 billion in closed and pending IP transactions, licenses and settlements for clients—far more than any other IP-focused firm in the world.
“NeoMedia’s strong and valuable IP portfolio is a great addition for our organization. In recent years we have secured significant revenue for our clients, and we look forward to working closely with NeoMedia to help them reap the financial benefits of its IP portfolio,” said Ragnar Olson, Global IP Law Group.
