Pluritas Conducting a Patent Auction of GPS related IP

Pluritas did a press release (click here) about an auction of a patent portfolio related to GPS emergency locator patents. The broker seems to have discovered quite a good portfolio.

My team at work invested about 18 months researching and building a methodology for evaluation of patents and patent portfolios. The table below shows the scores of the portfolio being auctioned (best guess using assignee/inventor searches, as the press release did not mention the patent numbers)

4 of the 5 US patents are 98th percentile or higher among comparable patents with exceptionally high scores.


It remains to be seen how much value does this portfolio fetch. Guess we will know in a few weeks time.
