The Patent deal The FB Lawsuit and IAM - NOT
With this Thesis below or IAM fact – it becomes increasing difficult to believe that Microsoft, Facebook or Apple are/ or could even be the single BUYERS. None of these single buyer entities need financing of any kind -
... and one just (last year) caved on a breach of patent use.(Lost in the German High court)
How do you link the FB settlement to this Single buyer side entity in the patents as somehow payment unless facebook is the buyer? Which by this article makes in unlikely IMHO,
1. Facebook settlement
2. Patent Deal

IAM has also obtained a little more detail about the transactions moving parts. It has emerged that there is, in fact, a single buy-side entity, but that the transaction is being financed from a variety of sources in multiple locations using a mix of debt and equity: the buyer is putting up some of its own cash, but others are supplying the balance. This is another reason why it is all taking so long. We understand that the buyer was one of several interested in the acquisition but that it was the one that offered the most money. Although, there is no indication as to the identity of the buyer, the fact that it is purchasing a licensing business rather than just a portfolio, and that it is looking to finance the deal through multiple sources, may give some indication of the kind of entity involved. Clearly, the hope at BlackBerry is that we will find out soon enough who it is. However, if things drag on until Christmas and towards the companys year-end in March 2022, priorities and expectations may begin to change
