Nanogram's IP gamble pays off, but real success awaits products, Small Times - March 18, 2004 (630 words)
The company at the fulcrum of this week's action is Nanogram Corp., which is reaping the rewards of an innovative IP strategy.
NeoPhotonics and NDC license the same intellectual property from NanoGram Corp. "The objective of NanoGram Corp. is to maximize the value of its assets in several market verticals," said Tim Jenks, who is chief executive of both NeoPhotonics and NanoGram Corp. (the IP holding company), which owns 28 patents.
Jenks said the sale of NDC, which was acquired for $45 million in cash by Wilson Greatbatch Technologies Inc., does help to validate the business model of NanoGram Corp. (the IP holding company) insomuch as the company generated a sizeable return on a $9.2 million investment early last year.
