Determined fair value of telecommunications patent portfolio

Stout was engaged by a telecommunications company to determine the fair value of 197 patents and patent applications related to various telecommunications technologies, including some related to the Wi-Fi telecommunications standard. The valuation was performed for financial reporting purposes after the assets had been acquired by the client as part of a complex transaction with another technology company. The client's auditor accepted Stout's valuation, and our value conclusion was included on the client's year-end balance sheet.
