RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Black Sesame & QNX Things are slow so .....Just checking out some stuff and just fanning the flames of patent sale/purchaser. Black Sesame as recent as last Sept received an investment injection from a Beijing based electronics company and one of China's largest, Xiaomi. Their market cap is approx $473bn and the amount of investment is classified but said to be worth hundreds of millions. In fact at the time Black Sesame said they had reached a valuation of $2bn with the injection. Xiaomi history is interesting as to how they build their patent portfolio. Seems that they don't shy away from purchasing them. Here's a history up until 2019 if you care to read

I'm thinking these guys could be a legitimate patent buyer candidate. At the end of last year they had more than 19000 patents worldwide with about half obtained overseas. They are in the smartphone business and few days ago awarded a patent in fingerprint ID, and since middle last year added 3 new phones, new imaging system and more.
Could this recent foray into ev chip building be related to a deal with BB and it's desire for our patents? Plus our desire to have Elon on our side or bait the hook? The competition is so stiff over there that I can see companies fighting over our patents using money and other incentives to win out. These guys have the money, can they dangle the right carrot.
