Patent assignments recently made public suggest another direct pickup for a New York-based investment management firm, this time through a familiar pipeline; movement of a search technology portfolio to a Delaware entity; and more patents filling out an apparent divestiture of a networking portfolio previously reported.

Assignments recently made public by the USPTO reflect, among other things, the apparent divestitures from a networking provider of roughly a quarter of its former US patent assets and from a smart projection company to a European monetization firm of what appears to be all of its US assets, as well as a double-bounce for the patent portfolio of a customer experience (CX) vendor exiting bankruptcy protection late last year and an ongoing flow of wireless communications patents to a Texas monetization firm.
