The acquisition would give the Acacia Technologies Group control of companies with 27 patent portfolios, which include 121 U.S. patents and certain foreign counterparts, and cover technologies used in a wide variety of industries. Eleven of the patent portfolios have been partially licensed and have generated over $40 million in non-recurring, gross licensing revenues to date. ADVERTISEMENT The total cost of the transaction is expected to be $5 million in cash and approximately 3.9 million shares of Acacia Research--Acacia Technologies stock, at closing, and an additional $2 million in cash to be paid over two years. The transaction is expected to close within 45 days, pending completion of final due diligence by Acacia. "This acquisition would significantly expand and widely diversify our revenue generating opportunities and would accelerate the execution of our business strategy of acquiring, developing and licensing patented technologies by 2 to 3 years," said Paul Ryan, Chairman & CEO of Acacia. "We look forward to working closely with Anthony O. Brown, Global's CEO, and his team including inventors of these patented technologies and the leading law firms that Tony has assembled. Acacia's licensing, engineering and legal teams would further enhance and optimize the revenue potential of these patent portfolios. We will continue to acquire additional portfolios, as Acacia moves toward its goal of becoming the leading technology licensing company," concluded Mr. Ryan. The new patents relate to certain aspects of various technologies or products, including: Broadcast Equipment Broadcasting and Data Transmission Cache Coherency Credit Card Receipt Processing Data File Synchronization Datamatrix Bar Codes Dynamic Manufacturing Models Encryption and Product Activation Hand Held Endoscopes Image Resolution or Enhancement Interactive Simulation Systems Interstitial Internet Advertising Peer to Peer Network Communications Programs for Resource Scheduling/Displaying Interrelated Tables Spreadsheet Programs Video Noise Reduction and Audio/Video Synchronization stock up huge on the news |

Also it should be noted that they are trying to buy rights to "certain aspects" of these technologies.. meaning that they are not trying to buy the whole process.. Meaning there is a way around everything..
What a bunch of idiots..

This is the very thing that should be outlawed..
Patents are supposed to be for the protection of an inventor... These dorks are buying up patents for the sake of profit, and they've invented nothing.. well.. other than a new way to be a complete pain in the ass... |

I hope this means they are grasping at straws...I honestly don't think current cases are going well for them and they are looking for something that will save their asses....
