Hilco Streambank Closed the Deals

Hilco Streambank ran an auction to maximize value of the intellectual property assets.  At the auction, Hilco Streambank was able to pair together multiple parties whose interests had no overlap to bid against a party interested in all of the intellectual property, generating additional value for the estate. Two bidders purchased the intellectual property assets for a cumulative value of $275,000.
