The smartphone maker, which is in the grips, received 986 patents last year, 49 percent more than in 2011, according to data compiled by the Association of Owners of Intellectual Property. BlackBerry’s patents are worth between $ 1 billion and 3 billion depending on how many have been licensed in the estimate of analysts patent experts.
favor of the Blackberry is the fact that the patents cover technologies similar to the intellectual property of Apple Inc. and that much of the portfolio has only a few years old. In contrast, the market for such assets slowed. Former buyers of patents, such as Apple and Google Inc., have developed extensive patent portfolios agreements two years ago.
“The market is incredibly volatile,” said Ron Laurie, managing director of Inflexion Point Strategy, based in Palo Alto, California, which provides advice on patents to companies. “Everything depends on the demand and the perceived strategic value.”
A higher value of patents would help the company while seeking offers in excess of the tentative proposal of Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd., a U.S. $ 4.7 billion, even if it involves dissolving the BlackBerry to get the most value for their assets.
Apple, whose iPhone is currently the best selling smartphone, the BlackBerry mentions technology 1,295 times in their registration forms patent, as the MDB Capital Group LLC, an investment bank patent, based in Santa Monica, California. The rivals are credited to each other more than any other two American manufacturers of devices. It requires companies to identify the technology to ensure that competitors are not complaining something already patented.
Lisette Kwong, spokesman Blackberry, based in Waterloo, Ontario, and Kristin Huguet, a spokeswoman for Apple, declined to comment.
