The bidding war over a Dell buyout is heating up, as those in the tech industry consider all the intellectual property patents, all 3,449 of them, which adds even more value to the computing giant. Some of the patents include things like inventions, brands, designs, and other intellectual assets which are actively attracting investors.
Despite reports of Dell’s inability to innovate, their large variety of patents and 1,660 pending patents has dispelled these rumors. Blackstone Group and Carl Icahn have been in the midst of this bidding war which looks to buyout the company’s innovations. The battle for the company is getting even more competitive, since there is a lot at stake.
The current price is said to be grossly undervalued, perhaps because of Dell’s lesser popularity as opposed to companies like Apple or Google. The intellectual property patents have been the real seller here, as there is a possibility to transform the company into a more innovative competitor.
Dell has said that their new growth strategy will include an emphasis on intellectual property, turning into a more “solutions based company”. The company will still sell hardware, but will also focus on support, integration, consultancy and applications.
