EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. The Opportunity
Our company, Tangible IP, LLC, has been retained exclusively as the agent to divest all patents and
related intellectual property of Canadian based company Gestion Proche, Inc. in the very coveted
Intelligent (or Smart) Lighting space, estimated to reach $56B by 2020, of which the largest segment
is LED Smart Lighting for C&I and government facilities.
We have partnered with LED industry experts from Alumage Advisors of Boston in developing a
portfolio of offerings in commercial and industrial (C&I) LED lighting, including troffer, recessed and
other office lighting systems, low bay and high bay industrial lighting and control systems, etc. This
portfolio is widely practiced by virtually all of the “A-tier” suppliers serving the lighting industry, as demonstrated by 9 claim charts covering ~100 products.
Gestion Proche, through its wholly owned operating company Dellux Technologies, has invested in
excess of $4M in R&D expenditures over the years and such efforts are reflected in the quality of
the portfolio currently for sale and some commercial deployments in NA and Europe. This
constitutes a unique opportunity for buyers wanting to acquire a strategic (offensive and defensive)
position in this key area, or for institutional buyers wanting to monetize this portfolio though
licensing programs given the presence of current EOU and/or to commercialize the underlying
technology with solid protection to keep competitors at bay.
2. The Patent Portfolio
The Gestion Proche patent portfolio consists of an international family of 1 issued US patent and 6
issued foreign counterparts and provides excellent protection and broad scope of coverage and
protection. It claims a superior and proven technique for delivering a LED lighting system that
maintains appropriate lighting levels given the ambient lighting conditions (also called a daylight
harvesting control system by many of the potentially infringing companies). The full list of asset
appears in Appendix A. US Pat. No. 7,557,524 contains 29 claims (3 independent) and has been
cited on several occasions1 by market leaders such as Cree (5 times), Bridgelux, Panasonic, Texas
Instruments, and Philips (4 times), to name a few.
1Some citations are linked to the application prior to its issuance. US

The earliest priority date for the portfolio (based on the initial Canadian filing) is December 2000,
which puts this portfolio in the very early stages in the field of Intelligent LED Lighting Control assets
class, as per chart below. The US patent also cites close to 30 references and has gone through a
robust prosecution, which altogether provides for solid protection against claims of invalidity.
Representative Claim of US 7,557,524 (Claim 1): An illumination lighting device comprising
a plurality of illumination groups, each of said illumination groups containing one or more light
emitting diodes and being configured for passing between an energized light emitting state and a
non-energized state, and
control means for maintaining the luminosity of the lighting device at a desired level, said luminosity
being controlled by, at predetermined time intervals, transferring an appropriate number of
illumination groups between said energized light emitting state and said non-energized state,
whereby
said transfer is effected in response to a luminosity reading and/or a usage time measurement, and
said lighting device comprises at least one of usage time measuring means for providing a usage time
measurement for each of said illumination groups at predetermined time intervals, and
a luminosity measuring system comprising
i) luminosity measuring means,
ii) one or more test light emitting diodes equivalent to the light emitting diodes of said
plurality of illumination groups,
said luminosity measuring means being able to provide said luminosity reading at predetermined
time intervals, on the basis of the light of said one or more test light emitting diodes when said one or
more test light emitting diodes are in an energized state, wherein said one or more test light emitting
diodes are selected from among light emitting diodes which are part of said illumination groups and
which are separate from said illumination groups.

6. The LED Intelligent (Smart) Lighting Market
The global Intelligent Lighting market, of which the largest segment is LED Smart Lighting for
commercial and industrial (C&I) and government facilities, is estimated to reach $56B by the year
2020, growing at a CAGR of 15.8% from 2014, according to research firm Markets and Markets
(M&M) in their Smart Lighting Market report, dated May, 2014. M&M further describes the smart
lighting industry as “involving the use of lighting control systems that deliver correct amounts of
light when needed. It deals with the technology where lights can automatically perform various
operations at set times or under set conditions. It makes use of intelligent light control systems to
control light based on various parameters such as amount of natural/daylight, occupancy,
movement, etc.“ It has been estimated that energy efficiency is improved by >90% when an
© 2013-2014 Tangible IP, LLC. All Rights Reserved. 9
intelligent LED lighting system replaces a conventional, HID-based system and 40-50% versus
fluorescents.
Primary products serving the LED C&I lighting space include troffer, recessed and other
commercial/office lighting systems, as well as low bay and high bay industrial lighting and control
systems for applications including warehouses, manufacturing facilities, big box retail stores, food
processing facilities, corporate lobbies, etc. In discussions with market research firm Strategies
Unlimited prior to publication of their LED Luminaire market forecast, the LED luminaire-only
portion for the above C&I markets was estimated to be $4-5B in 2013, with significant growth
driven by smart lighting by 2015-16. Based on triangulation from multiple market sources,
including the above referenced firms in addition to the U.S. DoE’s SSL Multi-Year Program Plan
dated May, 2014 and related reports from Gartner Research and Yole Developpement in 2013,
Alumage Advisors estimates the LED C&I smart lighting market segment to be $11-14B by 2020.
Market drivers facilitating the growth of the LED C&I smart lighting market include a confluence of
factors such as:
Rising costs of energy and taxed energy

LED-related government and utility rebates
Next gen, “smart” LED luminaires providing up to 90% energy efficiency
Annual, double-digit price reductions in LED luminaires
Increased luminaire warranties to 5-7 years and 70%+ lumen longevity to 100,000+ hours
Corporate green initiatives, social responsibility, public relations, etc.
LED color quality facilitating improved employee productivity, retail shopper relaxation, etc.
With LED luminaire pricing and rebate packages providing 12-18 month paybacks for purchased
systems, financing alternatives requiring no capital outlays, ESCOs sharing the value of energy
savings, etc., market prognosticators remain bullish regarding the overall growth of the LED Smart
Lighting market.
Some intelligent LED lighting companies, such as Digital Lumens and others, have also begun to
include the LED C&I smart lighting segment as part of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) space,
while research firm Memoori has published a report Q4’2014 describing an $85B global market by
2020 for the Building Internet of Things (BIoT), of which lighting controls and LED C&I lighting
comprise a significant segment. The global market appears poised to embrace the features and
energy efficiency benefits of LED smart lighting on a pervasive basis.

The Gestion Proche patent portfolio has direct application in the following areas:
Garage & Canopy Lighting
Subway & Railway Tunnel Lighting
Stairwell Lighting
Indoor Sport Venue Lighting
Hazardous & Explosion Proof Lighting
The majority of the EOU companies and those identified in Appendix C and D also offer some
combination of potentially infringing LED lighting and controls products for the above applications,
in addition to the C&I applications described in Section 1.
8. Patent Assertion in the LED Space
Given the wide array of opportunities in the LED space and the huge size of the worldwide lighting
market, competition is fierce. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the LED patent space. Now,
more than ever, LED giants are using their strong patent portfolios to create market barriers and
command market share. In January 2012, over 100 US and WIPO patent applications were
published on a single day (January 26th). These patents range from Lunavation’s LED dimming
devices (US20120019161A1) to Sharp’s substrate production methods (WO2012011258A1) to
Konica Minolta’s new phosphor materials (US20120018761A1).
Though a cross-licenses may exists for basic LED chip technology, companies still have plenty of
room for technological innovation and competition surrounding LED dimmers, LED lamp designs,
LED tubes to replace fluorescent tubes, remote phosphor innovations, and new substrate
technologies. Just one look at the flourishing LED patent space is enough to quell most LED patent
disbelievers. The major LED firms do not hold back on asserting or defending themselves from
patents suits. Analysts from GreenTech Patent Edge predict that as the big players will seek market
power through patent assertion smaller players will leverage patents to carve out niche markets.
Color Kinetics, acquired by Philips for $791 million in 2007, has caused LED industry unrest with its
arsenal of smart control patents for LED lighting. Shortly after the acquisition, Color Kinetics and
Philips have merged their LED licensing programs. Artistic License, a UK manufacturer of control
systems for LED devices withdrew from the US market for three years due to potential patent
assertion from Color Kinetics. Only after a licensing deal with LED firm Super Vision did Artistic
License re-enter the US market. To fend off Color Kinetics, Super Vision went on an acquisition
© 2013-2014 Tangible IP, LLC. All Rights Reserved. 11
spree, buying non-patented prior art assets as well as patents, relating to networked, centrally
controlled LED systems.
Color Kinetics has asserted almost 30 LED related patents in litigation, including those relating to
LED control systems, such as US Patent Nos. 7,737,643 (LED power control methods and apparatus),
7,659,673 (Methods and apparatus for providing a controllably variable power), 7,358,679
(Dimmable LED-based MR16 lighting apparatus and methods), 6,967,448 (Methods and apparatus
for controlling illumination). The firm prevailed in litigation against Super Vision, which had
spearheaded attempts by a group of LED firms to invalidate the Color Kinetics patents.
LED heavyweight Osram Sylvania is the defendant in 2 patent suits filed in the past year. The firm is
still entangled in litigation with Samsung from cases filed in 2011. In 2012, a US District Court let
Samsung substitute for Bluestone Innovations Texas as plaintiff against Osram in asserting a patent
initially asserted by Bluestone. Philips has an extensive LED patent licensing program that includes
300 agreements. Licensees Seoul Semiconductor, Lighting Science Group and Nexxus were once
Philips’ LED patent litigation adversaries. Cree has been involved in 17 patent lawsuits since 2005.
The firm has sparred back and forth with Cooper Lighting, SemiLEDS and Bridgelux in LED litigation.
GE Lighting Solutions has asserted patents against at least 5 defendants in the past 2 years.
Smaller LED entities, including NPEs, also seek competitive advantage and play defense in patent
assertion. After filing 7 LED patent lawsuits to carve out market position, Toggled has an impressive
line-up of outbound licensing arrangements with major LED firms. Toggled holds a total of over 75
LED patent assets. Light Transformation Technologies, an NPE subsidiary of Acacia Research, holds
10 patents and has asserted them against over 15 LED operating firms. Relume Corporation Trust,
an NPE, has asserted a patent in 3 lawsuits. The NPE may have access to 11 other patent assets held
by parent firm, Relume Technologies. Lighting Science Group filed for 71 LED related patent
applications in 2012, and is involved in over 12 patent lawsuits, including a half a dozen against
Philips. Lexington Luminance is an NPE, filing 5 patent lawsuits in 2012 over a single patent.
9. The Technology
The Gestion Proche patented Intelligent LED Lighting Control technology has been tested and
deployed commercially on several occasions (via its wholly owned subsidiary Dellux Technologies)
in Canada, Austria, Italy, Mexico and Germany. It provides a lighting system that maintains
appropriate lighting levels given the ambient lighting conditions. The way it works is very simple:
The system comprises a luminosity measuring means, a group of LEDs (fixtures) and a
controller that monitors the light levels in an area.
© 2013-2014 Tangible IP, LLC. All Rights Reserved. 12
This light level is affected by the light from the groups of LEDs (fixtures), and any external
ambient light contribution from windows and skylights.
Illumination levels are adjusted by controlling the number of groups of LEDs (fixtures) that
are turned On or Off.
The essential advantage of this method is that during daylight hours, if windows or skylights are
present, some of the groups of LEDs (fixtures) can be turned Off allowing for increased energy
savings while still maintaining appropriate illumination.
In small areas, all fixtures may remain Off or turn Off even though the area is in use.
In larger areas, some of the fixtures may remain Off or turn Off during use of the area.
During nighttime hours, all the fixtures will turn On during use of the area.
10. Targeted Price
In view of LED market size and growth, very early priority date (2000), the international breadth of
the portfolio and current EOU, our pricing guidance is therefore in the high six to low seven figures.
11. Sale Structure and Submission Deadline
This portfolio is only offered to a limited number of potential buyers. Therefore, there is no formal
submission deadline for this portfolio and serious offers will be considered in the order they are
received. Assets will be taken off the market once a PPA has been executed and buyers will be given
a reasonable period to complete the closing.
