Secured Video Codec SEPs Through Bankruptcy Acquisition

The Context

A leading SEP holder and member of a major video codec pool.

The Challenge

A valuable portfolio of HEVC and AVC SEPs became available through a bankruptcy sale. The client needed to move quickly and structure the acquisition to maximize licensing value.

Our Approach

Merion Point guided the buyer through technical and legal due diligence, designed a negotiation strategy, and modeled accretive royalties. We also worked directly with the seller’s bankruptcy counsel to structure and close the transaction.

The Outcome

The acquisition was finalized within a few months, securing strategic SEPs and strengthening the client’s long-term licensing position.
