For a few days we know that BlackBerry is officially for sale. The Canadian company, which in 2008 had the largest market share in the industry, has plummeted since then and many are now wondering what other companies might be interested in this giant rundown. BlackBerry 10 came late to the market and has not finished off, professional or corporate market is no longer dominated by the Waterloo company but operating systems like iOS and Android. So does something really valuable BlackBerry? Yes, its patents. BlackBerry has 5,236 active patents in the U.S. and 3,730 additional requests. The vast majority are wireless technology patents, but the company also has about 130 patents related to security (encryption patents). Several analysts in recent days have spoken about these patents. Chris Marlett, CEO of MDB Capital Group, said in a statement to AllThingsD that the wireless patent value depends on the buyer. If the interested party was a consortium of the value of these patents could reach 2,000 or 3,000 million. In the event that a single company tried to purchase the value could soar to 5,000 billion, according Marlett. Another analyst, James Faucette, adding that the valuation of these patents may be affected by the fact that many have been provided by BlackBerry for inclusion in standard-essential patents (SEPs); patent was considered essential to the functioning of networks and various systems do not have much value to potential buyers. The value lately, are in patents The fact that one of the most attractive assets are its BlackBerry patent is not new in the world of technology. One of the best known is that of Motorola, which was purchased by Google in exchange for 12,500 million for the high value of its patents. Another example is Nortell 6,000 patents, which were valued at 4,500 million dollars in 2011. We are therefore faced with a somewhat desperate for BlackBerry. A company that became a leader in the mobile phone market but failed to recognize the threat of the iPhone (and later Android) and rest on his laurels. Both fell asleep, six years later, his most valuable asset is its patents. - BlackBerry news is on sale. Does your greatest asset? His patent was originally in Engadget by Jaime Novoa.
