I wouldnt think they need it for the simple reason that people think Amedica is a spine company. It makes sense to divest the name to rebrand as a IPR&D shop allowing the name to follow their spine portfolio to a spine company. Also if their next move is to sell the remainder of business then the name isnt necessary and is more valuable as cash than trademark.
Everything they offloaded are assets that an acquirer would have to sell later, this makes the merger process easier and more straightforward. Its Also possible that doing this increases their value by liquidating assets which can be difficult to liquidate.
