Hilco Streambank and Rock Creek Advisors are seeking offers to acquire or license certain assets of DAQRI. The assets include a portfolio of 175+ granted design and utility patents and pending patent applications across a broad spectrum of augmented reality (“AR”) technology fields, as well as trademarks and domain names. The seller will entertain offers to acquire or license the patent portfolio.
 

DAQRI’s patented technology has penetrated the rapidly growing and highly innovative AR market. The portfolio of patents has achieved commercial acceptance with over 120 customers in the marketplace utilizing the headsets and software. The technology has been deployed in a wide range of industries including automotive, manufacturing, energy, pharmaceuticals, construction, consumer electronics, beauty and more, and can be customized and leveraged across virtually any other industry.
 

As of mid-2019, DAQRI’s customers had purchased and were integrating over 700 units of this state-of-the-art technology in their warehouses, manufacturing facilities and in the field. Numerous customers conducted initial field testing resulting in 30-50% increases in workforce efficiency and accuracy when completing critical tasks. This uptick in performance saves critical resources and prevents costly downtime and user error that often occur when completing tasks without the DAQRI technology.
 

DAQRI built a name in the AR space by developing and delivering professional-grade augmented reality solutions to its 120+ corporate clients across many markets and industries. DAQRI solutions are supported by a global patent portfolio covering virtually all the foundational software and hardware elements required to support industry leading head-worn computing solutions as detailed below. The patent portfolio contains priority dates as early as 2013.

DAQRI’s two primary product lines were the head-worn hardware (DAQRI Smart Glasses^®) and the software platform (DAQRI Worksense^®). Together, the two technologies linked digital content to the real world to accelerate productivity, communication, and key business processes.
 

The DAQRI patent portfolio is comprehensive, with over 175 granted and pending patents. The portfolio protects a wide range of features and uses on a worldwide basis, including core technologies for AR solutions. The company’s products, which were crafted using the patents as a foundation, have been commercialized and deployed in the marketplace.
