Heavyweights square up in lawsuit over former Nortel patents

The consortium that bought thousands of Nortel patents for $4.5B in 2011 has sued Google (GOOG), Samsung (SSNLF, SSNGY), HTC (HTCCY), Huawei and four other companies for infringing some of the IP.

The group, called Rockstar, is owned by Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Blackberry (BBRY), Ericsson (ERIC) and Sony (SNE).

The patents cited in the suit cover technology that enables targeted advertising on Internet search results - the core of Google's money making machine.

If this is truly the case, then Google is I for a heap if trouble

Especially, since they tried to buy those very Patents

So, this potentially means that BlackBerry's patents are worth something

Interesting.
I hope BlackBerry stays public long enough for the BlackBerry shareholders to make some money from Google

$hootout at the OK Corral....in ever-agonizing SloMo....roller coaster for shareholders, and in the end--the lawyer$ always prevail. They will be vastly enriched, but little else will be achieved, if history is any guide.
