Could Borders Rise From the Grave?
September 16th, 2011 · bankruptcy, borders
The Borders bankruptcy saga is winding to a close, and it’s about to go into its final weeks.
One of the last parts of Borders was sold off earlier this week: the IP. The liquidator specialists Hilco Streambank supervised the sale of the Borders name, URL, as well as other brand names that Borders own (B. Daltons,Waldenbooks, etc). The total raised was around $15 million. There’s no word yet on who bought the Borders name, just that Barnes & Noble were one of the bidders. Update: And that B&N bought most of the IP.
We won’t find out who bought what until Tuesday, and that raises an interesting question. What if someone bought the Borders website and name just to bring it back from the grave? It’s certainly possible. That’s not such a stretch because it’s happened before.
