CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA October 29, 2014-The Stout Risius Ross (SRR) Journal features M·CAM’s IP-backed structured financial expertise in its current issue in an article titled, “Financing Alternatives for Companies: Using Intellectual Property as Collateral”.

“Collateral enhancement firms that specialize in IP transactions, such as M·CAM’s Global Holdings LLC (“M·CAM”), assist regulated banks and traditional asset-based lenders who may not have all the tools, skills, and experience necessary to confidently evaluate IP as collateral. IP collateral enhancement provides the lender (and its regulators, as applicable) with a creditworthy (”˜A’ rated or better) “floor” value upon which to determine lendable IP collateral advance rates. M·CAM has expertise in underwriting intangible assets in order to provide collateral enhancements.”

M·CAM releases Patently Obvious® on Microsoft’s Cross-License With Nokia

Date:  Wed, 2014-07-30

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA July 30, 2014- M·CAM released its Patently Obvious® on Microsoft’s Cross-License with Nokia

The degree to which Microsoft’s global cross-license with Nokia could impair Nokia’s entire patent portfolio is not clear in public statements made by the firms or accounts of regulators’ competitiveness reviews. Nearly 20% of Microsoft’s patent portfolio either coincides with or is subsequent to Nokia’s patents on similar technologies. This may present a material consideration for investors in both Microsoft and Nokia. Given recent events in China, the cumulative effect could, at best, be a decreased enterprise and equity value for both firms. At worst, it could expose both companies to risks from the third parties who hold competitive alternative patents or potentially invalidating prior art.

M·CAM Featured in Barclays Report Written by The Economist Intelligence Unit

Date:  Wed, 2014-07-23

M·CAM has been featured in a Barclays report written by The Economist Intelligence Unit entitled, “Start me up: Creating Britain’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.”

“Will Hutton, Principal of Hertford College, Oxford University, and Chair of the Big Innovation Centre, explains: “One of the interesting developments in the US has been M-CAM, a company that underwrites the value of intellectual property, against which banks can lend. This gives inventors and entrepreneurs some profit but also gives bankers some comfort that even though nothing has been commercialised, there is an idea behind the potential commercial venture that has some intrinsic value.”
