Network-1 Announces Acquisition of High Frequency Trading Patent Portfolio

NEW CANAAN, CT / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2022 / Network-1 Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American:NTIP), a company engaged in acquiring, developing, licensing, and monetizing intellectual property, today announced that its newly formed subsidiary, HFT Solutions, LLC, has acquired a patent portfolio covering certain advanced technologies relating to high frequency trading (the "HFT Patent Portfolio").

Horowitz, CEO of Network-1. "We anticipate continuing to develop the portfolio and will be commencing our licensing activities in the near term," he added.
