EVENT INFORMATION:


Lot 20








“I have found previous Ocean Tomo auctions to be well worth attending, for several reasons. The attendees have included not only buyers and sellers of patents, but also outside lawyers, corporate officials, IP service providers, and many others. The auctions themselves have been first rate affairs, as have the accompanying banquet events. The workshops that predate the auction give good insights into recent trends in the law, particularly in the area of calculation of damages. Overall, the auctions have been watched closely by the U.S. intellectual property community.”

–Allen E. Hoover, Attorney, Banner & Witcoff

One-to-One Meetings


Bidders will have the option of arranging private due diligence meetings with the seller prior to the event and during the event. Prior to the event, bidders interested in contacting a seller should arrange such conference calls through ICAP Ocean Tomo to protect anonymity. At the event, please check the registration desk for a representative who will arrange the meeting if not already scheduled. These meetings will provide the bidder with the opportunity to interact with the seller and/or corporate representative and conclude any remaining due diligence.

If you would like to request a diligence meeting/conference call with a seller or sellers please contact ICAP Ocean Tomo directly via email at auctions@oceantomo.com.


Bidder Protection

Confidential Due Dilligence


Bidders may utilize our online secure data room that will be maintained by an independent third-party to assist their due diligence process. During the auction event, ICAP Ocean Tomo will make available a due diligence library consisting of documents provided by the seller for each lot. Registered bidders will have access to this diligence library.


Blind Bidding

Bidders will be identified by paddle number only. For those bidders that prefer “double-blind” anonymity, an ICAP Ocean Tomo representative may execute bids on your behalf in accordance with your written instructions.


Seller Agreements

Each Seller will enter into a consignment contract. As a condition of participation, each seller and bidder agree not to use the participation of any registered seller or bidder as evidence in any action seeking to enforce a patent, copyright or trademark for any purpose.
