(NASDAQ: MARA) ("Marathon" or "Company"), a patent licensing and commercialization company, announced today that multiple members of its executive team and board of directors were named to the latest edition of IAM Strategy 300 -- The World's Leading IP Strategists.

The IAM research team spoke to a wide range of senior corporate IP managers in North America, Europe and Asia, as well as third-party IP service providers, in order to identify these IP leaders: men and women whose business is the creation, development and deployment of strategies that enable IP owners to gain maximum value from their portfolios. Only those individuals nominated multiple times by different parties as outstanding IP strategists are listed in the IAM Strategy 300.

"The IP market is becoming increasingly international, with companies across the world now focusing on creating maximum value from the assets that they own.
