The volume of the transaction amounted to 46 million rubles. The buyer was found on him only from the second time. Initially, this lot was put up for auction in March 2018 with an initial price of 253.2 million rubles. For the second time, the initial price was reduced to 227.9 million rubles. The lot was sold as an open offer with a phased reduction in price.

The lot includes all products owned by Forecast, including the key - the analytical platform Prognoz Platform 8, the latest version released by Forecast itself. There were no other lots with intellectual property at the auction.

DSS Lab bought the rights to Forecast products when they fell heavily

DSS Lab told TAdviser that their companies were interested in the asset from the very beginning of the bankruptcy proceedings, but only later it fell so much in price that DSS Lab was able to afford to purchase it. The company was primarily interested in the intangible assets and intellectual property of Forecast in the field of structured information processing, for example, the BI platform. Therefore, the main thing for DSS Lab was the acquisition of competencies in the field of business intelligence, the company notes.

It is also necessary to resolve the issue with Forsyth, which in 2016, under an agreement with Forecast, received an expanded license for Forecast software, including the Prognoz Platform platform, with the right to unlimited sublicensing, refinement, maintenance, support and modification. After that, Forsyth released a new, ninth version of Prognoz Platform.

Forsyth states that the license agreement previously concluded between their company and Forecast continues to apply. Changing the copyright holder of intellectual property, including due to its sale, by law is not the basis for changing or terminating a previously concluded license agreement, they say in Forsyth.
