Reuters today reports that judges in the United States and in Canada have approved an Apple-led consortium's bid on some 6,000 Nortel patents that were auctioned off in late June. Apple, RIM, Microsoft, EMC Corp, Ericsson, and Sony Corp out-bid rival Google for the patents, many of which pertain to wireless networking technologies. Combined, the companies bid a total of $4.5 billion for the patents. The auction was held to satisfy Nortel's financial obligations resulting from its bankruptcy.

That's all she wrote folks, now they take the IP infringement cases direct to Google instead of just going after the Motos, HTC's, & Samsungs...

Ouch!

Something tells me that the 4.5 Bill could have been used to help keep the companies head above water and from tanking... 😕
