does anyone know how much cash BB will receive from Facebook It is all speculative. So avoid any assumptions. We might be able to get a rough estimate once we look at the earnings at the end on March. 2 Billion may be far too much but I honestly don't have any idea and nor does anyone else. I would assme half of that just to be on the cautious side.

everyone is wondering..$2 bill is just speculation..facts known: terms of settlement are confidential and Blackberry will not comment furthur.. (most certainly as per FB legal team demand). thought procees is i believe there was a substantial one timer (recognize lost licencing fees all the way back to when BB 1st raised the issue, -long before the lawsuit was initated and some punative damages

Not expecting really huge money from patent sales. However if many of them are in the category F or G from following excerpt from ip.com then great. How great? Still not as great as one might think. A: These invalidated or expired patents are worth $0. B: These patents are not litigated or licensed. They include no broad claims. They’re valued at between $10,000 and $30,000.

Thanks Hedgetrimmer Great handle btw So, even if all the patents BB have on the books are only category B, that would equate to 700m if you averaged them out to 20k per. Now, if only 5% of them are in cat d that is $570m No one really knows true valuation, but they are on the block to free up cash for either an acquisition or development with AWS or anything else they need.
