Last month’s review of notable patent assignments considered the movement of assets from Avaya to Dominion Harbor Enterprises, LLC; from Level 3 Communications to Sandpiper CDN, LLC; from Seiko Epson to IPValue’s 138 East LCD Advancements Ltd. and Lumitek Display Technology Ltd.; from Transaction Security to a “BioCrypt Access”; from Fortress Investment Group LLC’s KIP Prod P1 LP to Prodea Automation LLC; from EMM Patents Ltd. to Empire IP LLC; from Siemens and Abdelsalam Helal to Rokiot USA LLC; and from Proxicom Wireless, LLC to Secure Communication Technologies, LLC. While a couple of these entities again feature prominently, this month’s review extends well beyond them to cover the movement of patents away from other operating companies, as well as within several repeat monetization players.

Earlier this month, NovaCloud Licensing LLC announced the launch of “a new licensing effort to provide more accessibility to patented technologies that are fundamental to driving innovations across the cloud computing and datacenter sectors”. The firm indicated in its press release that it has acquired “a foundational patent portfolio of cloud-based technologies” from Ericsson, which NovaCloud’s public website suggests has global reach, including 40 patent families and more than 40 US patents. Joe Chernesky and Bill Goldman, both behind VideoLabs, Inc., lead the NovaCloud team.
