In light of the recent turmoil caused by Lenovo’s acquisition of Motorola and subsequent attempts to quantify patents of other companies in the mobile market, once again on the potential sale of intellectual property belonging to the BlackBerry.

Lisette Kwong, a representative of the BlackBerry, in an interview with Forbes journalist made it clear, however, that the Canadian company is not considering at the moment the sale of its patents.

have invested many years and many millions of dollars to create the world’s best keyboard platform for communication and corporate services. We are proud of our patented technologies and solutions and we intend to continue our work of creating solutions that push the market of mobile communication forward “

is not known at this exactly how things are owned by the BlackBerry patents. In recent months made many, although not necessarily legitimate valuations, according to which the value of the portfolio of BB ranged from 200 million to as much as $ 5 billion. Currently, it is speculated that 2 billion would be a “fair price”, which most probably we will not have a chance in the near future to convince.

It seems, however, that the BlackBerry will try in various ways to increase revenue from the licensing of its patents and to minimize the costs incurred in licensing patents to other companies. The second of these measures is expected to deliver savings of even a billion dollars a year.
