Earlier this year, RPX flagged an SEC filing by NPE Quest Patent Research Corporation (QPRC) that revealed a financial stake held by Intellectual Ventures LLC (IV) in QPRC’s litigation. A disclosure filed with the court this week in an IPValuation Partners LLC (d/b/a IPVal) case suggests that IV—which has assigned at least 80 US assets to IPVal to date—may have an interest in the success of additional NPE campaigns.

Among the patent assignments recorded during the first week of November were multiple transfers from Intellectual Ventures LLC (IV)—two to affiliates of IP Valuation Partners LLC (d/b/a IPVal) (which currently has multiple ongoing campaigns asserting former IV patents), and one to a new NPE with an apparent connection to Cotman IP. The week also saw the recording of transactions between IQ Holdings, LLC and IPVal; Panasonic and PanOptis Equity Holdings LLC; and Microsoft and General Patent Corporation.
