operating subsidiaries, and/or where applicable, its management.&#160; All patent investment, prosecution, licensing and enforcement activities are conducted solely by certain of Acacia&#8217;s wholly

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Acacia&#8217;s operating subsidiaries invest in, license and enforce patented technologies.  Acacia&#8217;s operating subsidiaries partner with inventors and patent owners, applying their legal and technology expertise to patent assets to unlock the financial value in their patented inventions. Acacia is an intermediary in the patent marketplace, bridging the gap between invention and application, facilitating efficiency and delivering monetary rewards to patent owners.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Acacia&#8217;s operating subsidiaries generate revenues and related cash flows from the granting of intellectual property rights for the use of patented technologies that its operating subsidiaries control or own. Acacia&#8217;s operating subsidiaries assist patent owners with the prosecution and development of their patent portfolios, the protection of their patented inventions from unauthorized use, the generation of licensing revenue from users of their patented technologies and, where necessary, with the enforcement against unauthorized users of their patented technologies through the filing of patent infringement litigation. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Acacia&#8217;s operating subsidiaries are principals in the licensing and enforcement effort, obtaining control of the rights in the patent portfolio, or control of the patent portfolio outright.  Acacia&#8217;s operating subsidiaries own or control the rights to multiple patent portfolios, which include U.S. patents and certain foreign counterparts, covering technologies used in a wide variety of industries.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Basis of Presentation.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Acacia and its wholly and majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries.  Material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  Noncontrolling interests in Acacia&#8217;s majority-owned and controlled operating subsidiaries (&#8220;noncontrolling interests&#8221;) are separately presented as a component of stockholders&#8217; equity in the consolidated statements of financial position for the applicable periods presented.  Consolidated net loss is adjusted to include the net (income) loss attributed to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of operations. Refer to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for total noncontrolling interests, net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests and contributions from and distributions to noncontrolling interests, for the applicable periods presented.    </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A wholly owned subsidiary of Acacia is the general partner of the Acacia Intellectual Property Fund, L.P.

evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) all obligations have been substantially performed pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, (iii) amounts are fixed or determinable, and (iv) the collectibility of amounts is reasonably assured.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In general, revenue arrangements provide for the payment of contractually determined fees in consideration for the grant of certain intellectual property rights for patented technologies owned or controlled by Acacia&#8217;s operating subsidiaries.&#160;&#160;These rights typically include some combination of the following:&#160;&#160;(i) the grant of a non-exclusive, retroactive and future license to manufacture and/or sell products covered by patented technologies owned or controlled by Acacia&#8217;s operating subsidiaries, (ii) a covenant-not-to-sue, (iii) the release of the licensee from certain claims, and (iv) the dismissal of any pending litigation.&#160;&#160;The intellectual property rights granted may be perpetual in nature, extending until the expiration of the related patents, or can be granted for a defined, relatively short period of time, with the licensee possessing the right to renew the agreement at the end of each contractual term for an additional minimum upfront payment.&#160;&#160;Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, Acacia&#8217;s operating subsidiaries have no further obligation with respect to the grant of the non-exclusive retroactive and future licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other deliverables, including no express or implied obligation on Acacia&#8217;s operating subsidiaries&#8217; part to maintain or upgrade the technology, or provide future support or services.&#160;&#160;Generally, the agreements provide for the grant of the licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other significant deliverables upon execution of the agreement, or upon receipt of the minimum upfront payment for term agreement renewals.&#160;&#160;As such, the earnings process is complete and revenue is recognized upon the execution of the agreement, when collectibility is reasonably assured, or upon receipt of the minimum upfront fee for term agreement renewals, and when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.</font></div><div

executed by the Company provided for the payment of one-time, paid-up license fees in consideration for the grant of certain intellectual property rights for patented technology rights owned by Acacia's operating subsidiaries. These rights were primarily granted on a perpetual basis, extending until the expiration of the underlying patents.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Cost of Revenues</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.&#160;&#160;Cost of revenues include the costs and expenses incurred in connection with Acacia&#8217;s patent licensing and enforcement activities, including inventor royalties paid to original patent owners, contingent legal fees paid to external patent counsel, other patent-related legal expenses paid to external patent counsel, licensing and enforcement related research, consulting and other expenses paid to third-parties and the amortization of patent-related investment costs.&#160;&#160;These costs are included under the caption &#8220;Cost of revenues&#8221; in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.&#160;&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Inventor Royalties and Contingent Legal Expenses.  </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Inventor royalties are expensed in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that the related revenues are recognized.&#160;&#160;In certain instances, pursuant to the terms of the underlying inventor agreements, upfront advances paid to patent owners by Acacia&#8217;s operating subsidiaries are recoverable from future net revenues.&#160;&#160;Patent costs that are recoverable from future net revenues are amortized over the estimated economic useful life of the related patents, or as the prepaid royalties are earned by the inventor, as appropriate, and the related expense is included in amortization expense in the consolidated statements of operations.&#160;&#160;Any unamortized upfront advances recovered from net revenues are expensed in the period recovered, and included in amortization expense in the consolidated statements of operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Contingent legal fees are expensed in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that the related revenues are recognized.  In instances where there are no recoveries from potential infringers, no contingent legal fees are paid; however, Acacia&#8217;s operating subsidiaries may be liable for certain out of pocket legal costs incurred pursuant to the underlying legal services agreement.&#160;&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Use of Estimates.&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Acacia believes that, of the significant accounting policies described herein, the accounting policies associated with revenue recognition, stock-based compensation expense, impairment of marketable securities and intangible assets including goodwill, the determination of the economic useful life of amortizable intangible assets, income taxes and valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and the application of the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, require its most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><br><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;6</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="sD1BAD7BCF697C15DD6328AD8E69DD0E8"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">ACACIA RESEARCH CORPORATION</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Concentrations. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Three</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;licensees individually accounted for </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">54%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">15%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">13%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of revenues recognized during the three months ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;">September&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">two</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;licensees accounted for </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">34%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">23%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of revenues recognized during the nine months ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

Certain patent application and prosecution costs incurred to secure additional patent claims, that based on management&#8217;s estimates are deemed to be recoverable, are capitalized and amortized over the remaining estimated economic useful life of the related patent portfolio.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Goodwill.  </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis (December 31) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Acacia considers its market capitalization and other valuation techniques and the carrying value of its assets and liabilities, including goodwill, when performing its goodwill impairment test.

In the event the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the asset&#8217;s carrying value over its fair value. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available or not indicative of current fair value, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Fair value is generally estimated using the &#8220;Income Approach,&#8221; focusing on the estimated future net income-producing capability of the patent portfolios over the estimated remaining economic useful life.  Estimates of future after-tax cash flows are converted to present value through &#8220;discounting,&#8221; including an estimated rate of return that accounts for both the time value of money and investment risk factors.  Estimated cash inflows are typically based on estimates of reasonable royalty rates for the applicable technology, applied to estimated market data.  Estimated cash outflows are based on existing contractual obligations, such as contingent legal fee and inventor royalty obligations, applied to estimated license fee revenues, in addition to other estimates of out-of-pocket expenses associated with a specific patent portfolio&#8217;s licensing and enforcement program. The analysis also contemplates consideration of current information about the patent portfolio including, status and stage of litigation, periodic results of the litigation process, technology coverage and other pertinent information that could impact future net cash flows.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Income Taxes.&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in Acacia&#8217;s consolidated financial statements or consolidated income tax returns. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if all, or some portion, of such assets will more than likely not be realized, or if it is determined that there is uncertainty regarding future realizability of such assets.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of Acacia&#8217;s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, Acacia updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is recorded.&#160;&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company's effective tax rates were </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">three and nine months</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively, and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">7%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">three and nine months</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2014</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively.

The acquirer is also required to record in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, and other items resulting from the change to the provisional amounts. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

When conducting annual and interim goodwill impairment assessments, the Company initially performs a qualitative evaluation (considering factors described above as applicable) of whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If it is determined by a qualitative evaluation that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a two-step impairment test is applied. The two-step impairment test first compares the estimated fair value of the Company's single reporting unit to its carrying or book value. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and there is no requirement to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company is required to determine the estimated implied fair value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill and if the carrying value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill exceeds its estimated implied fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">June 30, 2015 Goodwill Impairment Assessment.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;&#32;At June 30, 2015, the Company assessed the impact of the recent downward volatility in the Company's stock price and concluded that the decline constituted a triggering event requiring an interim goodwill impairment test.  The Company conducted the first step of the goodwill impairment test for its single reporting unit as of June 30, 2015. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of June 30, 2015 by approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">4%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, utilizing the market capitalization plus cost synergies approach described below, and therefore, goodwill was determined to not be impaired as of June 30, 2015.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">September 30, 2015 Goodwill Impairment Analysis Update</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

The fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of September 30, 2015, and therefore goodwill was determined to not be impaired as of September 30, 2015.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">At September 30, 2015, fair value was estimated using the Company's market capitalization as of September 30, 2015.  The estimated market capitalization was determined by multiplying the Company's stock price and the common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2015, resulting in a market capitalization and fair value estimate of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$460.8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.  The carrying value of the Company was </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$439.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;at September 30, 2015, resulting in an excess fair value estimate of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$21.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;or </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">5%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.  When considering an estimated control premium based on estimated cost synergies that could be realized by an acquirer in a hypothetical sale of the company, the estimated fair value increased to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$502.8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, resulting in an excess fair value estimate of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$63.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;or </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">14%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Utilization of the Company's market capitalization in the first step of the analysis to estimate the fair value of the company for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of goodwill is significantly impacted by the stock price of the company at the measurement date.  Historically, the Company's stock price has been volatile, and this volatility has continued for the periods reflected herein, ranging from </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$7.88</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$17.22</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;during the 2015 periods.  In addition, subsequent to September 30, 2015, the Company's stock price volatility has continued, trending downward to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$6.91</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, as of November 3, 2015.  If the first step of the analysis was performed using the market capitalization approach as of November 3, 2015, the fair value estimate would have been approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$350.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, resulting in a deficit of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$88.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;or </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">20%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;when compared to the September 30, 2015 carrying value of the company.  If the first step of the analysis was performed using the market capitalization plus control premium approach on the same date, the fair value estimate would have been </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$392.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, resulting in a deficit of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$46.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;or </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">11%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;when compared to the September 30, 2015 carrying value of the company.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">If this downward stock price movement since September 30, 2015 were deemed to be sustained and/or other-than-temporary, the Company may fail the first step of the goodwill impairment analysis using the market capitalization measurement approach and market capitalization plus cost synergies approach in future periods.  As of the date of this report, management believes that the decline in the Company's stock price subsequent to September 30, 2015 is temporary, based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock price and management's belief that there have been no material changes to the estimates, judgments and assumptions underlying the estimates of fair value of the Company, subsequent to September 30, 2015.  However, as of the filing date of this report, Acacia's operating subsidiaries have in excess of 10 patent infringement cases with a scheduled trial date in the next six months.  It is difficult to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at the trial level, and outcomes can be unfavorable.  An unfavorable outcome in certain of the litigations scheduled to occur in the next six months could materially impact the Company's stock price (potentially resulting in an other-than-temporary-decline) and could materially reduce expected estimated future cash flows, which could materially reduce estimates of fair value in future periods.  If, in future periods it is determined by the first step of the two-step impairment analysis that the carrying value </font></div><br><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;12</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">ACACIA RESEARCH CORPORATION</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company is required to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill and if the carrying value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference would be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In future periods, fair value may be estimated using the &#8220;Income Approach,&#8221; focusing on the estimated future income-producing capability of the Company's assets, principally its patent portfolios. The underlying premise of this approach is that the value of the Company can be estimated by the present value of the estimated future net economic benefit (cash receipts less cash outlays). The approach contemplates estimates of after-tax cash flows attributable to the Company's aggregate assets and converting these after-tax cash flows to present value through &#8220;discounting.&#8221; The discounting process contemplates an estimated rate of return that accounts for both the time value of money and investment risk factors. The cash inflows considered are comprised of an estimate of revenues to be generated from future licensing. Estimated cash outflows are based on estimated contractual obligations, such as contingent legal fee and inventor royalty obligations, applied to estimated revenues, in addition to other estimates of out-of-pocket expenses associated with licensing and enforcement and ongoing operations. Net cash flows also consider utilization of applicable tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, subject to applicable limitations on use.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As described above, in assessing the recoverability of goodwill using a discounted cash flow analysis, significant judgments and estimates are required in connection with estimates of fair values, including estimates of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows, estimates of time and risk related discount factors, estimates of costs and expenses and estimates of other factors that are used to estimate fair values of the Company.  These estimates and judgments may change in future periods based on new or changing facts and circumstances.  For example, significant declines in estimates of future revenues due to future adverse litigation or trial outcomes, changes in estimates of patent coverages, adverse rulings by the courts or other regulatory bodies that increase the complexity of patent law and the costs associated with the litigation process, changes in the Company's ability to invest in additional high-quality patent portfolios in future periods, changes in estimates of the Company's ability to launch new products or strategies, or other increases in costs associated with current or future licensing and enforcement programs, could have a material impact on estimates of fair value in connection with future interim or annual impairment tests.  If these estimates or related projections result in material reductions to estimates of fair value in future periods, future intangible asset and/or goodwill impairment tests may result in material impairment charges to earnings.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><br><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;13</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="sD0F9B7EDD7CC5A663A8D8AD8F45DEA87"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 2.&#160; MANAGEMENT&#8217;S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

in revenues period to period, and therefore, periodic results can be uneven.  Unlike most operating businesses and industries, licensing revenues not generated in a current period are not necessarily foregone but, depending on whether negotiations, litigation or both continue into subsequent periods, and depending on a number of other factors, such potential revenues may be pushed into subsequent fiscal periods.  Although revenues from one or more of our patents or patent portfolios may be significant in a specific reporting period, we believe that none of our individual patents or patent portfolios is individually significant to our licensing and enforcement business as a whole.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We have strategically chosen to serve a smaller number of customers each having higher quality patent portfolios.  High quality patent portfolios are typically associated with higher numbers of varied defensible claims, higher revenue potential, originating from high-pedigreed patent owners and/or possessing a relatively large number of prospective licensees.  In this regard, commencing in the later portion of 2013 and early 2014, we have continued the shift in our focus at our point of patent intake, from quantity to quality. </font></div><div

It is often difficult for juries and trial judges to understand complex, patented technologies, and as a result, this may lead to a higher rate of unfavorable outcomes.  Moreover, in the event of a favorable outcome, there is a higher rate of successful appeals in patent enforcement litigation than more standard business litigation. Such appeals are expensive and time consuming, resulting in increased costs and a potential for delayed or foregone revenue opportunities in the event of modification or reversal of favorable outcomes. Although we diligently pursue enforcement litigation, we cannot predict with significant reliability the decisions made by juries and trial courts.&#160; Please refer to Item 1A.

When conducting our annual and interim goodwill impairment assessments, we initially perform a qualitative evaluation (considering factors described above as applicable) of whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If it is determined by a qualitative evaluation that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, we then apply a two-step impairment test. The two-step impairment test first compares the estimated fair value of our single reporting unit to its carrying or book value. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, we are required to determine the estimated implied fair value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill and if the carrying value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill exceeds its estimated implied fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">June 30, 2015 Goodwill Impairment Assessment.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;&#32;At June 30, 2015, we assessed the impact of the recent downward volatility in our stock price and concluded that the decline constituted a triggering event requiring an interim goodwill impairment test.  We conducted the first step of the goodwill impairment test for our single reporting unit as of June 30, 2015. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of June 30, 2015 by approximately 4%, utilizing the market capitalization plus cost synergies approach described below, and therefore, goodwill was determined to not be impaired as of June 30, 2015.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">September 30, 2015 Goodwill Impairment Analysis Update</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.  We updated the quantitative impairment assessment described above as of September 30, 2015, conducting the first step of the goodwill impairment test described above for our single reporting unit as of September 30, 2015.

The estimated market capitalization was determined by multiplying our stock price and the common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2015, resulting in a market capitalization and fair value estimate of approximately $460.8 million.  The carrying value of the Company was $439.5 million at September 30, 2015, resulting in an excess fair value estimate of $21.3 million or 5%.  When considering an estimated control premium based on estimated cost synergies that could be realized by an acquirer in a hypothetical sale of the company, the estimated fair value increased to $502.8 million, resulting in an excess fair value estimate of $63.3 million or 14%.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Utilization of our market capitalization in the first step of the analysis to estimate the fair value of the Company for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of goodwill is significantly impacted by our stock price at the measurement date.  Historically, our stock price has been volatile, and this volatility has continued for the periods reflected herein, ranging from $7.88 to $17.22 during the 2015 periods.  In addition, subsequent to September 30, 2015, our stock price volatility has continued, trending downward to $6.91 as of November 3, 2015.  If the first step of the analysis was performed using the market capitalization approach as of November 3, 2015, the fair value estimate would have been approximately $350.6 million, resulting in a deficit of $88.9 million or 20% when compared to our September 30, 2015 carrying value.  If the first step of the analysis was performed using the market capitalization plus control premium approach on the same date, the fair value estimate would have been $392.6 million, resulting in a deficit of $46.9 million or 11% when compared to our September 30, 2015 carrying value.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">If this downward stock price movement since September 30, 2015 were deemed to be sustained and/or other-than-temporary, we may fail the first step of the goodwill impairment analysis using the market capitalization measurement approach </font></div><br><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;21</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">and market capitalization plus cost synergies approach in future periods.  As of the date of this report, management believes that the decline in our stock price subsequent to September 30, 2015 is temporary, based on the historical volatility of our stock price and management's belief that there have been no material changes to the estimates, judgments and assumptions underlying our estimates of fair value of the Company, subsequent to September 30, 2015.  However, as of the filing date of this report, our operating subsidiaries have in excess of 10 patent infringement cases with a scheduled trial date in the next six months (refer to our website for additional information).  It is difficult to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at the trial level, and outcomes can be unfavorable.  An unfavorable outcome in certain of the litigations scheduled to occur in the next six months could materially impact our stock price (potentially resulting in an other-than-temporary-decline) and could materially reduce expected estimated future cash flows, which could materially reduce estimates of fair value in future periods.  If, in future periods it is determined by the first step of the two-step impairment analysis that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we are required to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill and if the carrying value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference would be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In future periods, fair value may be estimated using the &#8220;Income Approach,&#8221; focusing on the estimated future income-producing capability of our assets, principally our patent portfolios. The underlying premise of this approach is that the value of the company can be estimated by the present value of the estimated future net economic benefit (cash receipts less cash outlays). The approach contemplates estimates of after-tax cash flows attributable to the company's aggregate assets and converting these after-tax cash flows to present value through &#8220;discounting.&#8221; The discounting process contemplates an estimated rate of return that accounts for both the time value of money and investment risk factors. The cash inflows considered are comprised of an estimate of revenues to be generated from future licensing. Estimated cash outflows are based on estimated contractual obligations, such as contingent legal fee and inventor royalty obligations, applied to estimated revenues, in addition to other estimates of out-of-pocket expenses associated with licensing and enforcement and ongoing operations. Net cash flows also consider utilization of our applicable tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, subject to applicable limitations on use.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As described above, in assessing the recoverability of goodwill using a discounted cash flow analysis, significant judgments and estimates are required in connection with estimates of fair values, including estimates of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows, estimates of time and risk related discount factors, estimates of costs and expenses and estimates of other factors that are used to estimate fair value.  These estimates and judgments may change in future periods based on new or changing facts and circumstances.  For example, significant declines in estimates of future revenues due to future adverse litigation or trial outcomes, changes in estimates of patent coverages, adverse rulings by the courts or other regulatory bodies that increase the complexity of patent law and the costs associated with the litigation process, changes in our ability to invest in additional high-quality patent portfolios in future periods, changes in estimates of our ability to launch new products or strategies, or other increases in costs associated with current or future licensing and enforcement programs, could have a material impact on estimates of fair value in connection with future interim or annual impairment tests.  If these estimates or related projections result in material reductions to our estimates of fair value in future periods, future intangible asset and/or goodwill impairment tests may result in material impairment charges to earnings.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.  In March 2015, an operating subsidiary of ours entered into a standby letter of credit and guarantee arrangement (&#8220;Guarantee&#8221;) with a bank in the amount of $10.7 million, for purposes of enforcing a court ruling in a German patent court granting an injunction against the defendants in the related patent infringement case.  An&#160;injunction&#160;is an&#160;equitable remedy&#160;in the form of a&#160;court order&#160;that compels the defendant(s) to cease marketing, offering for sale or importing applicable infringing products into applicable jurisdiction(s).  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Under German law, in order to enforce the injunction granted by the court, a Guarantee is required to be furnished by our operating subsidiary, the plaintiff in the case, for potential payment to the defendants of any applicable claims which may be incurred by the defendants as a result of the enforcement of the injunction, only in the event that the aforementioned court ruling is subsequently successfully appealed by the defendants or otherwise amended.  The Guarantee is required to be issued unlimited with respect to time, until appropriately extinguished in accordance with German law.  The Guarantee will be extinguished when a relevant extinguishment order by the court having jurisdiction takes effect, typically occurring when the related infringement case has been settled or a final non-appealable decision has been issued by the court. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Guarantee is secured by a cash deposit at the contracting bank totaling $10.7 million, which is classified as restricted cash in the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;balance sheet.  The Guarantee expires on April 10, 2016, however, it is automatically extended without amendment for a period of one (1) year from the present or any future expiration date, unless at least 30 days prior to any expiration date, the Guarantee is extinguished in accordance with German law.  The Guarantee facility fee is 1.15% per year, and the related expense is included in the statement of operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Uncertain Tax Positions</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.&#160;&#160;At </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">September&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, we had total unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $2.1 million, including a recorded noncurrent liability of $85,000 related to unrecognized tax benefits primarily associated with state taxes.

This means that a change in prevailing interest rates, with respect to interest rate risk, or a change in the value of the United States equity markets, with respect to market risk, may cause the principal amount or market value of the investments to fluctuate.  For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed interest rate at the then-prevailing rate and the prevailing interest rate later rises, the current value of the principal amount of our investment may decline. To minimize these risks in the future, we intend to maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including commercial paper, money market funds, high-grade corporate bonds, government and non-government debt securities and certificates of deposit.   </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">At </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">September&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and December 31, 2014, our short-term investments were comprised of AAA-rated money market funds that invest in first-tier only securities, which primarily include domestic commercial paper, securities issued or </font></div><br><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;28</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies, U.S. bank obligations, and fully collateralized repurchase agreements (included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets) and direct investments in highly liquid, AAA-rated, U.S. government securities.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In general, money market funds are not subject to market risk because the interest paid on such funds fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate.  Accordingly, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates or a 10% decline in the value of the United States equity markets would not be expected to have a material impact on the value of such money market funds. Investments in U.S. government fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if interest rates increase. However, due to the relatively short duration of our investment portfolio, an immediate 10% change in interest rates would have no material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Declines in interest rates over time will, however, reduce our interest income.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><a name="sA8DE1386D152DDFE93588AD8F5B1EEB2"></a><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 4.&#160;&#160;CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our management, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter (the quarter ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">September&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system&#8217;s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><br><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;29</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s2C29A3FE603D4E2609BC8AD8F5E34815"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">PART II--OTHER INFORMATION</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><a name="sd3fc90c2275e498a93d0d3f00252aace"></a><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 1A.&#160;&#160;RISK FACTORS</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The risk factors set forth below contain changes to the description of the applicable risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Our exposure to uncontrollable outside influences, including new legislation, court rulings or actions by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, could adversely affect our licensing and enforcement business and results of operations</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our licensing and enforcement business is subject to numerous risks from outside influences, including the following:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">New legislation, regulations or rules related to obtaining patents or enforcing patents could significantly increase our operating costs and decrease our revenue.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our operating subsidiaries invest in patents with enforcement opportunities and spend a significant amount of resources to enforce those patents. If new legislation, regulations or rules are implemented by Congress, the USPTO or the courts that impact the patent application process, the patent enforcement process or the rights of patent holders, such changes could negatively affect our business. Recently, United States patent laws were amended with the enactment of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, or the America Invents Act, which took effect on March 16, 2013. The America Invents Act includes a number of significant changes to U.S. patent law. In general, the legislation attempts to address issues surrounding the enforceability of patents and the increase in patent litigation by, among other things, establishing new procedures for patent litigation. For example, the America Invents Act changes the way that parties may be joined in patent infringement actions, increasing the likelihood that such actions will need to be brought against individual allegedly-infringing parties by their respective individual actions or activities. In addition, the America Invents Act enacted a new inter-partes review process at the USPTO which can be, and often is, used by defendants, and other individuals and entities, to separately challenge the validity of any patent. At this time, it is not clear what, if any, overall impact the America Invents Act will have on the operation of our enforcement business. However, the America Invents Act and its implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the enforcement of our patented technologies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The U.S. Department of Justice, or the DOJ, has conducted reviews of the patent system to evaluate the impact of patent assertion entities on industries in which those patents relate. It is possible that the findings and recommendations of the DOJ could impact the ability to effectively license and enforce standards-essential patents and could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the enforcement of any such patented technologies. Also, in 2014, the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, initiated a study under Section 6(b) of the Federal Trade Commission Act to evaluate the patent assertion practice and market impact of Patent Assertion Entities, or PAEs.&#160; The FTC&#8217;s initial notice and request for public comment relating to the PAE study appeared in the Federal Register on October 3, 2013.&#160; Acacia Research Corporation received and responded to a request for information as part of this FTC study.&#160; It is expected that the results of the PAE study by the FTC will be provided to Congress and other agencies, such as the DOJ, who could take action, including legislative proposals, based on the results of the study.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Finally, new rules regarding the burden of proof in patent enforcement actions could significantly increase the cost of our enforcement actions, and new standards or limitations on liability for patent infringement could negatively impact our revenue derived from such enforcement actions. In addition, recent federal court decisions have lowered the threshold for obtaining attorneys&#8217; fees in patent infringement cases and increased the level of deference given to a district court&#8217;s fee-shifting determination. These decisions may make it easier for district courts to shift a prevailing party&#8217;s attorneys' fees to a non-prevailing party if the district court believes that the case was weak or conducted in an abusive manner. As a result, defendants in patent infringement actions brought by non-practicing entities may elect not to settle because these decisions make it much easier for defendants to get attorneys&#8217; fees.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Changes in patent law could adversely impact our business.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Patent laws may continue to change, and may alter the historically consistent protections afforded to owners of patent rights. Such changes may not be advantageous for us and may make it more difficult to obtain adequate patent protection to enforce our patents against infringing parties. Increased focus on the growing number of patent-related lawsuits may result in legislative changes which increase our costs and related risks of asserting patent enforcement actions. For instance, the United </font></div><br><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;30</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">States Congress is considering a bill that would require, among other things, non-practicing entities that bring patent infringement lawsuits to pay legal costs of the defendants, if the lawsuits are unsuccessful and certain standards are not met.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Trial judges and juries often find it difficult to understand complex patent enforcement litigation, and as a result, we may need to appeal adverse decisions by lower courts in order to successfully enforce our patents.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">It is difficult to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at the trial level. It is often difficult for juries and trial judges to understand complex, patented technologies, and as a result, there is a higher rate of successful appeals in patent enforcement litigation than more standard business litigation. Such appeals are expensive and time consuming, resulting in increased costs and delayed revenue. Although we diligently pursue enforcement litigation, we cannot predict with significant reliability the decisions made by juries and trial courts.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">More patent applications are filed each year resulting in longer delays in getting patents issued by the USPTO.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Certain of our operating subsidiaries hold and continue to invest in pending patents. We have identified a trend of increasing patent applications each year, which we believe is resulting in longer delays in obtaining approval of pending patent applications. The application delays could cause delays in recognizing revenue from these patents and could cause us to miss opportunities to license patents before other competing technologies are developed or introduced into the market.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Federal courts are becoming more crowded, and as a result, patent enforcement litigation is taking longer.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our patent enforcement actions are almost exclusively prosecuted in federal court. Federal trial courts that hear our patent enforcement actions also hear criminal cases. Criminal cases always take priority over our actions. As a result, it is difficult to predict the length of time it will take to complete an enforcement action. Moreover, we believe there is a trend in increasing numbers of civil lawsuits and criminal proceedings before federal judges and, as a result, we believe that the risk of delays in our patent enforcement actions will have a greater effect on our business in the future unless this trend changes.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Any reductions in the funding of the USPTO could have an adverse impact on the cost of processing pending patent applications and the value of those pending patent applications.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The assets of our operating subsidiaries consist of patent portfolios, including pending patent applications before the USPTO. The value of our patent portfolios is dependent upon the issuance of patents in a timely manner, and any reductions in the funding of the USPTO could negatively impact the value of our assets. Further, reductions in funding from Congress could result in higher patent application filing and maintenance fees charged by the USPTO, causing an unexpected increase in our expenses.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Competition is intense in the industries in which our subsidiaries do business and as a result, we may not be able to grow or maintain our market share for our technologies and patents.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We expect to encounter competition in the area of patent portfolio investments and enforcement as the number of companies entering this market is increasing. This includes competitors seeking to invest in the same or similar patents and technologies that we may seek to invest in. Entities including RPX, AST, Intellectual Ventures, Wi-LAN, Conversant, Round Rock Research LLC, IPvalue Management Inc., Vringo Inc. and Pendrell Corporation compete in acquiring rights to patents, and we expect more entities to enter the market. As new technological advances occur, many of our patented technologies may become obsolete before they are completely monetized. If we are unable to replace obsolete technologies with more technologically advanced patented technologies, then this obsolescence could have a negative effect on our ability to generate future revenues.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our licensing business also competes with venture capital firms and various industry leaders for patent licensing opportunities. Many of these competitors may have more financial and human resources than we do. As we become more successful, we may find more companies entering the market for similar technology opportunities, which may reduce our market share in one or more technology industries that we currently rely upon to generate future revenue.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Our patented technologies face uncertain market value.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our operating subsidiaries have invested in patents and technologies that may be in the early stages of adoption in the commercial and consumer markets. Demand for some of these technologies is untested and is subject to fluctuation based upon the rate at which our licensees will adopt our patents and technologies in their products and services.</font></div><br><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;31</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Further, significant judgment is required in connection with estimates of the recoverability of the carrying value of our intangible patent assets, including estimates of market values, estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows, and estimates of other factors that are used to determine the fair value and recoverability of the respective patent asset values. Developments with respect to ongoing patent litigation, patent challenges and re-exams, legislative and judicial decisions and other factors outside of our control, may unfavorably impact the validity, applicability, and enforceability of our patent assets, and therefore, negatively impact the future value of our patent portfolios. If certain of these unfavorable events occur, our estimates or related projections may change materially in future periods, and future intangible asset impairment tests may result in material charges to earnings.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">As patent enforcement litigation becomes more prevalent, it may become more difficult for us to voluntarily license our patents.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We believe that the more prevalent patent enforcement actions become, the more difficult it will be for us to voluntarily license our patents. As a result, we may need to increase the number of our patent enforcement actions to cause infringing companies to license the patent or pay damages for lost royalties. This may increase the risks associated with an investment in our company.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Patent litigation trials and scheduled trial dates are subject to routine delay, and any such delays could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Patent infringement trials are components of our overall patent licensing process and are one of many factors that contribute to the existence of possible future revenue opportunities for us.&#160; Patent litigation schedules in general, and in particular trial dates, are subject to routine adjustment, and in most cases delay, as courts adjust their calendars or respond to requests from one or more parties.  Trial dates often are rescheduled by the court for various reasons that are often unrelated to the underlying patent assets and typically for reasons that are beyond our control.  As a result, to the extent such events are an indicator of possible future revenue opportunities for us, or other outcome determinative events, they may and often do change which can result in delay of the expected scheduled event.  Any such delay could be significant and could affect the corresponding future revenue opportunities, thus adversely impacting our business, results of operations and financial condition.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><a name="sCFCCC2660375CF2BDB678AD8F601AF37"></a><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 6.&#160;&#160;EXHIBITS</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><div style="padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:normal;padding-top:10px;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left;"><tr><td colspan="2"></td></tr><tr><td width="17%"></td><td width="83%"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">EXHIBIT</font></div><div style="font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">NUMBER</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">EXHIBIT</font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10.1*</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Employment Agreement, dated September 22, 2015, between Acacia Research Group, LLC and Robert L.

An&amp;#160;injunction&amp;#160;is an&amp;#160;equitable remedy&amp;#160;in the form of a&amp;#160;court order&amp;#160;that compels the defendant(s) to cease marketing, offering for sale or importing applicable infringing products into applicable jurisdiction(s).  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Under German law, in order to enforce the injunction granted by the court, a Guarantee is required to be furnished by the operating subsidiary, the plaintiff in the case, for potential payment to the defendants of any applicable claims which may be incurred by the defendants as a result of the enforcement of the injunction, only in the event that the aforementioned court ruling is subsequently successfully appealed by the defendants or otherwise amended.  The Guarantee is required to be issued unlimited with respect to time, until appropriately extinguished in accordance with German law.

Under the two-class method, securities that participate in non-forfeitable dividends, such as the Company&amp;#8217;s outstanding unvested restricted stock, are considered &amp;#8220;participating securities.&amp;#8221; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In applying the two-class method, (i) basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) (less any dividends paid on participating securities) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and participating securities outstanding for the period and (ii) diluted earnings per share may include the additional effect of other securities, if dilutive, in which case the dilutive effect of such securities is calculated by applying the two-class method and the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise or vesting of potentially dilutive common shares.  The method yielding the more dilutive result is ultimately reported for the applicable period.

When conducting annual and interim goodwill impairment assessments, the Company initially performs a qualitative evaluation (considering factors described above as applicable) of whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If it is determined by a qualitative evaluation that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a two-step impairment test is applied. The two-step impairment test first compares the estimated fair value of the Company's single reporting unit to its carrying or book value. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and there is no requirement to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company is required to determine the estimated implied fair value of the reporting unit&amp;#8217;s goodwill and if the carrying value of the reporting unit&amp;#8217;s goodwill exceeds its estimated implied fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;June 30, 2015 Goodwill Impairment Assessment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;  At June 30, 2015, the Company assessed the impact of the recent downward volatility in the Company's stock price and concluded that the decline constituted a triggering event requiring an interim goodwill impairment test.  The Company conducted the first step of the goodwill impairment test for its single reporting unit as of June 30, 2015. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of June 30, 2015 by approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;4%&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, utilizing the market capitalization plus cost synergies approach described below, and therefore, goodwill was determined to not be impaired as of June 30, 2015.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;September 30, 2015 Goodwill Impairment Analysis Update&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.  The Company updated the quantitative impairment assessment described above as of September 30, 2015, conducting the first step of the goodwill impairment test for the Company's single reporting unit as of September 30, 2015. The fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of September 30, 2015, and therefore goodwill was determined to not be impaired as of September 30, 2015.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;At September 30, 2015, fair value was estimated using the Company's market capitalization as of September 30, 2015.  The estimated market capitalization was determined by multiplying the Company's stock price and the common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2015, resulting in a market capitalization and fair value estimate of approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$460.8 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.  The carrying value of the Company was &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$439.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; at September 30, 2015, resulting in an excess fair value estimate of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$21.3 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; or &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;5%&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.  When considering an estimated control premium based on estimated cost synergies that could be realized by an acquirer in a hypothetical sale of the company, the estimated fair value increased to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$502.8 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, resulting in an excess fair value estimate of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$63.3 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; or &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;14%&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Utilization of the Company's market capitalization in the first step of the analysis to estimate the fair value of the company for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of goodwill is significantly impacted by the stock price of the company at the measurement date.  Historically, the Company's stock price has been volatile, and this volatility has continued for the periods reflected herein, ranging from &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$7.88&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$17.22&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; during the 2015 periods.  In addition, subsequent to September 30, 2015, the Company's stock price volatility has continued, trending downward to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$6.91&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, as of November 3, 2015.  If the first step of the analysis was performed using the market capitalization approach as of November 3, 2015, the fair value estimate would have been approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$350.6 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, resulting in a deficit of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$88.9 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; or &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;20%&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; when compared to the September 30, 2015 carrying value of the company.  If the first step of the analysis was performed using the market capitalization plus control premium approach on the same date, the fair value estimate would have been &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$392.6 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, resulting in a deficit of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$46.9 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; or &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;11%&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; when compared to the September 30, 2015 carrying value of the company.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;If this downward stock price movement since September 30, 2015 were deemed to be sustained and/or other-than-temporary, the Company may fail the first step of the goodwill impairment analysis using the market capitalization measurement approach and market capitalization plus cost synergies approach in future periods.  As of the date of this report, management believes that the decline in the Company's stock price subsequent to September 30, 2015 is temporary, based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock price and management's belief that there have been no material changes to the estimates, judgments and assumptions underlying the estimates of fair value of the Company, subsequent to September 30, 2015.  However, as of the filing date of this report, Acacia's operating subsidiaries have in excess of 10 patent infringement cases with a scheduled trial date in the next six months.  It is difficult to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at the trial level, and outcomes can be unfavorable.  An unfavorable outcome in certain of the litigations scheduled to occur in the next six months could materially impact the Company's stock price (potentially resulting in an other-than-temporary-decline) and could materially reduce expected estimated future cash flows, which could materially reduce estimates of fair value in future periods.  If, in future periods it is determined by the first step of the two-step impairment analysis that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company is required to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit&amp;#8217;s goodwill and if the carrying value of the reporting unit&amp;#8217;s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference would be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In future periods, fair value may be estimated using the &amp;#8220;Income Approach,&amp;#8221; focusing on the estimated future income-producing capability of the Company's assets, principally its patent portfolios. The underlying premise of this approach is that the value of the Company can be estimated by the present value of the estimated future net economic benefit (cash receipts less cash outlays). The approach contemplates estimates of after-tax cash flows attributable to the Company's aggregate assets and converting these after-tax cash flows to present value through &amp;#8220;discounting.&amp;#8221; The discounting process contemplates an estimated rate of return that accounts for both the time value of money and investment risk factors. The cash inflows considered are comprised of an estimate of revenues to be generated from future licensing. Estimated cash outflows are based on estimated contractual obligations, such as contingent legal fee and inventor royalty obligations, applied to estimated revenues, in addition to other estimates of out-of-pocket expenses associated with licensing and enforcement and ongoing operations. Net cash flows also consider utilization of applicable tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, subject to applicable limitations on use.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As described above, in assessing the recoverability of goodwill using a discounted cash flow analysis, significant judgments and estimates are required in connection with estimates of fair values, including estimates of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows, estimates of time and risk related discount factors, estimates of costs and expenses and estimates of other factors that are used to estimate fair values of the Company.  These estimates and judgments may change in future periods based on new or changing facts and circumstances.  For example, significant declines in estimates of future revenues due to future adverse litigation or trial outcomes, changes in estimates of patent coverages, adverse rulings by the courts or other regulatory bodies that increase the complexity of patent law and the costs associated with the litigation process, changes in the Company's ability to invest in additional high-quality patent portfolios in future periods, changes in estimates of the Company's ability to launch new products or strategies, or other increases in costs associated with current or future licensing and enforcement programs, could have a material impact on estimates of fair value in connection with future interim or annual impairment tests.  If these estimates or related projections result in material reductions to estimates of fair value in future periods, future intangible asset and/or goodwill impairment tests may result in material impairment charges to earnings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:GoodwillDisclosureTextBlock>

If quoted market prices are not available or not indicative of current fair value, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Fair value is generally estimated using the &amp;#8220;Income Approach,&amp;#8221; focusing on the estimated future net income-producing capability of the patent portfolios over the estimated remaining economic useful life.  Estimates of future after-tax cash flows are converted to present value through &amp;#8220;discounting,&amp;#8221; including an estimated rate of return that accounts for both the time value of money and investment risk factors.  Estimated cash inflows are typically based on estimates of reasonable royalty rates for the applicable technology, applied to estimated market data.  Estimated cash outflows are based on existing contractual obligations, such as contingent legal fee and inventor royalty obligations, applied to estimated license fee revenues, in addition to other estimates of out-of-pocket expenses associated with a specific patent portfolio&amp;#8217;s licensing and enforcement program. The analysis also contemplates consideration of current information about the patent portfolio including, status and stage of litigation, periodic results of the litigation process, technology coverage and other pertinent information that could impact future net cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:ImpairmentOrDisposalOfLongLivedAssetsIncludingIntangibleAssetsPolicyPolicyTextBlock>

A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if all, or some portion, of such assets will more than likely not be realized, or if it is determined that there is uncertainty regarding future realizability of such assets.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of Acacia&amp;#8217;s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period.

Adoption of this standard is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements&amp;#160;and related disclosures.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In May 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update addressing revenue from contracts with customers, which clarifies existing accounting literature relating to how and when a company recognizes revenue. &amp;#160;Under the standard, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. &amp;#160;The amendments for this standard update are effective for&amp;#160;interim and annual&amp;#160;reporting periods beginning after December 15,&amp;#160;2016, and are to be applied retrospectively or the cumulative effect as of the date of adoption, with early application not permitted. &amp;#160;On April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to propose a one-year deferral to the effective date, but to permit entities to adopt one year earlier if they choose (i.e., the original effective date).

Adoption of this standard is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and are to be applied retrospectively or the cumulative effect as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements&amp;#160;and related disclosures.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In September 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to simplify the accounting for measurement-period adjustments in a business combination by requiring the acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. The acquirer is also required to record in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, and other items resulting from the change to the provisional amounts. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of this update will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:NewAccountingPronouncementsAndChangesInAccountingPrinciplesTextBlock>

In instances where there are no recoveries from potential infringers, no contingent legal fees are paid; however, Acacia&amp;#8217;s operating subsidiaries may be liable for certain out of pocket legal costs incurred pursuant to the underlying legal services agreement.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Use of Estimates.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The three-level hierarchy of valuation techniques established to measure fair value is defined as follows:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:normal;padding-top:10px;"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan="3" rowspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width="5%" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width="4%" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width="91%" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#9679;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Level 1 - Observable Inputs:&amp;#160;&amp;#160;Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#9679;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Level 2 - Pricing Models with Significant Observable Inputs:&amp;#160;&amp;#160;Other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.; and&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#9679;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Level 3 - Unobservable Inputs:&amp;#160;&amp;#160;Significant unobservable inputs, including the entity&amp;#8217;s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;Whenever possible, the Company is required to use observable market inputs (Level 1 - quoted market prices) when measuring fair value.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Investments in Marketable Securities. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Investments in securities with original maturities of greater than three months and less than one year and other investments representing amounts that are available for current operations are classified as short-term investments, unless there are indications that such investments may not be readily sold in the short term.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded based on the specific identification method.

patent rights (hereinafter, collectively &amp;#8220;patents&amp;#8221;) obtained from third-parties or obtained in connection with business combinations.  Capitalized patent costs are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over their remaining economic useful lives, ranging from &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;one&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;nine years&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Certain patent application and prosecution costs incurred to secure additional patent claims, that based on management&amp;#8217;s estimates are deemed to be recoverable, are capitalized and amortized over the remaining estimated economic useful life of the related patent portfolio.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Goodwill.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis (December 31) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Acacia considers its market capitalization and other valuation techniques and the carrying value of its assets and liabilities, including goodwill, when performing its goodwill impairment test. Refer to Note 9 for additional information.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Impairment of Long-lived Assets.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Acacia reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for potential impairment annually (quarterly for patents) and when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the asset&amp;#8217;s carrying value over its fair value. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available or not indicative of current fair value, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Fair value is generally estimated using the &amp;#8220;Income Approach,&amp;#8221; focusing on the estimated future net income-producing capability of the patent portfolios over the estimated remaining economic useful life.  Estimates of future after-tax cash flows are converted to present value through &amp;#8220;discounting,&amp;#8221; including an estimated rate of return that accounts for both the time value of money and investment risk factors.  Estimated cash inflows are typically based on estimates of reasonable royalty rates for the applicable technology, applied to estimated market data.  Estimated cash outflows are based on existing contractual obligations, such as contingent legal fee and inventor royalty obligations, applied to estimated license fee revenues, in addition to other estimates of out-of-pocket expenses associated with a specific patent portfolio&amp;#8217;s licensing and enforcement program. The analysis also contemplates consideration of current information about the patent portfolio including, status and stage of litigation, periodic results of the litigation process, technology coverage and other pertinent information that could impact future net cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Income Taxes.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in Acacia&amp;#8217;s consolidated financial statements or consolidated income tax returns. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if all, or some portion, of such assets will more than likely not be realized, or if it is determined that there is uncertainty regarding future realizability of such assets.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of Acacia&amp;#8217;s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, Acacia updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is recorded.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Company's effective tax rates were &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;1%&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2%&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;three and nine months&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; ended &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30, 2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, respectively, and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;1%&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;7%&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;three and nine months&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; ended &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30, 2014&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, respectively.  The effective rates for the periods presented primarily reflect the impact of foreign withholding taxes related to certain revenue agreements executed with third party licensees domiciled in foreign jurisdictions, and valuation allowances recorded for foreign withholding tax credits and net operating loss related tax assets generated during the periods.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:SignificantAccountingPoliciesTextBlock>

Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Acacia believes that, of the significant accounting policies described herein, the accounting policies associated with revenue recognition, stock-based compensation expense, impairment of marketable securities and intangible assets including goodwill, the determination of the economic useful life of amortizable intangible assets, income taxes and valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and the application of the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, require its most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:UseOfEstimates>

When conducting annual and interim goodwill impairment assessments, the Company initially performs a qualitative evaluation (considering factors described above as applicable) of whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If it is determined by a qualitative evaluation that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a two-step impairment test is applied. The two-step impairment test first compares the estimated fair value of the Company's single reporting unit to its carrying or book value. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and there is no requirement to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company is required to determine the estimated implied fair value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill and if the carrying value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill exceeds its estimated implied fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">June 30, 2015 Goodwill Impairment Assessment.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">  At June 30, 2015, the Company assessed the impact of the recent downward volatility in the Company's stock price and concluded that the decline constituted a triggering event requiring an interim goodwill impairment test.  The Company conducted the first step of the goodwill impairment test for its single reporting unit as of June 30, 2015. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of June 30, 2015 by approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">4%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, utilizing the market capitalization plus cost synergies approach described below, and therefore, goodwill was determined to not be impaired as of June 30, 2015.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">September 30, 2015 Goodwill Impairment Analysis Update</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.  The Company updated the quantitative impairment assessment described above as of September 30, 2015, conducting the first step of the goodwill impairment test for the Company's single reporting unit as of September 30, 2015. The fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of September 30, 2015, and therefore goodwill was determined to not be impaired as of September 30, 2015.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">At September 30, 2015, fair value was estimated using the Company's market capitalization as of September 30, 2015.  The estimated market capitalization was determined by multiplying the Company's stock price and the common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2015, resulting in a market capitalization and fair value estimate of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$460.8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.  The carrying value of the Company was </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$439.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> at September 30, 2015, resulting in an excess fair value estimate of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$21.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> or </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">5%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.  When considering an estimated control premium based on estimated cost synergies that could be realized by an acquirer in a hypothetical sale of the company, the estimated fair value increased to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$502.8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, resulting in an excess fair value estimate of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$63.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> or </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">14%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Utilization of the Company's market capitalization in the first step of the analysis to estimate the fair value of the company for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of goodwill is significantly impacted by the stock price of the company at the measurement date.  Historically, the Company's stock price has been volatile, and this volatility has continued for the periods reflected herein, ranging from </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$7.88</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$17.22</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> during the 2015 periods.  In addition, subsequent to September 30, 2015, the Company's stock price volatility has continued, trending downward to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$6.91</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, as of November 3, 2015.  If the first step of the analysis was performed using the market capitalization approach as of November 3, 2015, the fair value estimate would have been approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$350.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, resulting in a deficit of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$88.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> or </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">20%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> when compared to the September 30, 2015 carrying value of the company.  If the first step of the analysis was performed using the market capitalization plus control premium approach on the same date, the fair value estimate would have been </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$392.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, resulting in a deficit of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$46.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> or </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">11%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> when compared to the September 30, 2015 carrying value of the company.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">If this downward stock price movement since September 30, 2015 were deemed to be sustained and/or other-than-temporary, the Company may fail the first step of the goodwill impairment analysis using the market capitalization measurement approach and market capitalization plus cost synergies approach in future periods.  As of the date of this report, management believes that the decline in the Company's stock price subsequent to September 30, 2015 is temporary, based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock price and management's belief that there have been no material changes to the estimates, judgments and assumptions underlying the estimates of fair value of the Company, subsequent to September 30, 2015.  However, as of the filing date of this report, Acacia's operating subsidiaries have in excess of 10 patent infringement cases with a scheduled trial date in the next six months.  It is difficult to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at the trial level, and outcomes can be unfavorable.  An unfavorable outcome in certain of the litigations scheduled to occur in the next six months could materially impact the Company's stock price (potentially resulting in an other-than-temporary-decline) and could materially reduce expected estimated future cash flows, which could materially reduce estimates of fair value in future periods.  If, in future periods it is determined by the first step of the two-step impairment analysis that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company is required to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill and if the carrying value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference would be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In future periods, fair value may be estimated using the &#8220;Income Approach,&#8221; focusing on the estimated future income-producing capability of the Company's assets, principally its patent portfolios. The underlying premise of this approach is that the value of the Company can be estimated by the present value of the estimated future net economic benefit (cash receipts less cash outlays). The approach contemplates estimates of after-tax cash flows attributable to the Company's aggregate assets and converting these after-tax cash flows to present value through &#8220;discounting.&#8221; The discounting process contemplates an estimated rate of return that accounts for both the time value of money and investment risk factors. The cash inflows considered are comprised of an estimate of revenues to be generated from future licensing. Estimated cash outflows are based on estimated contractual obligations, such as contingent legal fee and inventor royalty obligations, applied to estimated revenues, in addition to other estimates of out-of-pocket expenses associated with licensing and enforcement and ongoing operations. Net cash flows also consider utilization of applicable tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, subject to applicable limitations on use.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As described above, in assessing the recoverability of goodwill using a discounted cash flow analysis, significant judgments and estimates are required in connection with estimates of fair values, including estimates of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows, estimates of time and risk related discount factors, estimates of costs and expenses and estimates of other factors that are used to estimate fair values of the Company.  These estimates and judgments may change in future periods based on new or changing facts and circumstances.  For example, significant declines in estimates of future revenues due to future adverse litigation or trial outcomes, changes in estimates of patent coverages, adverse rulings by the courts or other regulatory bodies that increase the complexity of patent law and the costs associated with the litigation process, changes in the Company's ability to invest in additional high-quality patent portfolios in future periods, changes in estimates of the Company's ability to launch new products or strategies, or other increases in costs associated with current or future licensing and enforcement programs, could have a material impact on estimates of fair value in connection with future interim or annual impairment tests.  If these estimates or related projections result in material reductions to estimates of fair value in future periods, future intangible asset and/or goodwill impairment tests may result in material impairment charges to earnings.</font></div></div><span></span>

In the event the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the asset&#8217;s carrying value over its fair value. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available or not indicative of current fair value, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Fair value is generally estimated using the &#8220;Income Approach,&#8221; focusing on the estimated future net income-producing capability of the patent portfolios over the estimated remaining economic useful life.  Estimates of future after-tax cash flows are converted to present value through &#8220;discounting,&#8221; including an estimated rate of return that accounts for both the time value of money and investment risk factors.  Estimated cash inflows are typically based on estimates of reasonable royalty rates for the applicable technology, applied to estimated market data.  Estimated cash outflows are based on existing contractual obligations, such as contingent legal fee and inventor royalty obligations, applied to estimated license fee revenues, in addition to other estimates of out-of-pocket expenses associated with a specific patent portfolio&#8217;s licensing and enforcement program. The analysis also contemplates consideration of current information about the patent portfolio including, status and stage of litigation, periodic results of the litigation process, technology coverage and other pertinent information that could impact future net cash flows.</font></div></div><span></span>

An&#160;injunction&#160;is an&#160;equitable remedy&#160;in the form of a&#160;court order&#160;that compels the defendant(s) to cease marketing, offering for sale or importing applicable infringing products into applicable jurisdiction(s).  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Under German law, in order to enforce the injunction granted by the court, a Guarantee is required to be furnished by the operating subsidiary, the plaintiff in the case, for potential payment to the defendants of any applicable claims which may be incurred by the defendants as a result of the enforcement of the injunction, only in the event that the aforementioned court ruling is subsequently successfully appealed by the defendants or otherwise amended.  The Guarantee is required to be issued unlimited with respect to time, until appropriately extinguished in accordance with German law.  The Guarantee will be extinguished when a relevant extinguishment order by the court having jurisdiction takes effect, typically occurring when the related infringement case has been settled or a final non-appealable decision has been issued by the court. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Guarantee is secured by a cash deposit at the contracting bank totaling </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$10,721,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which is classified as restricted cash in the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> balance sheet.  The Guarantee expires on April 10, 2016, however, it is automatically extended without amendment for a period of one (1) year from the present or any future expiration date, unless at least 30 days prior to any expiration date, the Guarantee is extinguished in accordance with German law.  The Guarantee facility fee is </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1.15%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> per year, and the related expense is included in the consolidated statement of operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Patent Enforcement</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"> &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Certain of Acacia&#8217;s operating subsidiaries are often required to engage in litigation to enforce their patents and patent rights.&#160;&#160;In connection with any of Acacia&#8217;s operating subsidiaries&#8217; patent enforcement actions, it is possible that a defendant may request and/or a court may rule that an operating subsidiary has violated statutory authority, regulatory authority, federal rules, local court rules, or governing standards relating to the substantive or procedural aspects of such enforcement actions.&#160;&#160;In such event, a court may issue monetary sanctions against Acacia or its operating subsidiaries or award attorney&#8217;s fees and/or expenses to a defendant(s), which could be material.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For the nine months ended September 30, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and 2014, other operating expenses were </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$3,891,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1,548,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively.

Adoption of this standard is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted.

Adoption of this standard is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and are to be applied retrospectively or the cumulative effect as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted.

The acquirer is also required to record in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, and other items resulting from the change to the provisional amounts. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of this update will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations upon adoption.</font></div></div><span></span>

Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Acacia believes that, of the significant accounting policies described herein, the accounting policies associated with revenue recognition, stock-based compensation expense, impairment of marketable securities and intangible assets including goodwill, the determination of the economic useful life of amortizable intangible assets, income taxes and valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and the application of the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, require its most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Concentrations. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Three</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> licensees individually accounted for </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">54%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">15%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">13%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of revenues recognized during the three months ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;">September&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">two</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> licensees accounted for </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">34%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">23%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of revenues recognized during the nine months ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;Patents include the cost of patents or patent rights (hereinafter, collectively &#8220;patents&#8221;) obtained from third-parties or obtained in connection with business combinations.  Capitalized patent costs are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over their remaining economic useful lives, ranging from </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">one</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">nine years</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Certain patent application and prosecution costs incurred to secure additional patent claims, that based on management&#8217;s estimates are deemed to be recoverable, are capitalized and amortized over the remaining estimated economic useful life of the related patent portfolio.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Goodwill.  </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis (December 31) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Acacia considers its market capitalization and other valuation techniques and the carrying value of its assets and liabilities, including goodwill, when performing its goodwill impairment test. Refer to Note 9 for additional information.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Impairment of Long-lived Assets.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> Acacia reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for potential impairment annually (quarterly for patents) and when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the asset&#8217;s carrying value over its fair value. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available or not indicative of current fair value, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Fair value is generally estimated using the &#8220;Income Approach,&#8221; focusing on the estimated future net income-producing capability of the patent portfolios over the estimated remaining economic useful life.  Estimates of future after-tax cash flows are converted to present value through &#8220;discounting,&#8221; including an estimated rate of return that accounts for both the time value of money and investment risk factors.  Estimated cash inflows are typically based on estimates of reasonable royalty rates for the applicable technology, applied to estimated market data.  Estimated cash outflows are based on existing contractual obligations, such as contingent legal fee and inventor royalty obligations, applied to estimated license fee revenues, in addition to other estimates of out-of-pocket expenses associated with a specific patent portfolio&#8217;s licensing and enforcement program. The analysis also contemplates consideration of current information about the patent portfolio including, status and stage of litigation, periodic results of the litigation process, technology coverage and other pertinent information that could impact future net cash flows.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Income Taxes.&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in Acacia&#8217;s consolidated financial statements or consolidated income tax returns. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if all, or some portion, of such assets will more than likely not be realized, or if it is determined that there is uncertainty regarding future realizability of such assets.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of Acacia&#8217;s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, Acacia updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is recorded.&#160;&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company's effective tax rates were </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">three and nine months</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively, and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">7%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">three and nine months</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2014</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively.
