The latest information from the USA indicates that the company Microsoft, which has bought Nokia or Skype in recent years, is in talks to take over the Canadian smartphone manufacturer BlackBerry BlackBerry (formerly RIM). The motivation for Microsoft A company striving for survival is probably not the main motivation for buying, but its patents, which mainly concern encrypted communication between smartphones, are far more valuable.
O BlackBerry Lenovo, Huawei and Xiaomi are also interested. However, their motivation is to increase their position in the US and Europe, where BlackBerry still represented. Unfortunately BlackBerry is really not doing well and in the last quarter of last year it sold only 1,6 million phones, which is as much as Apple sells in a day when a new model is launched. Then for the same quarter Apple sold 74 phones, which is already a significant difference indeed.
Given the expression BlackBerry However, from the past, it seems unlikely to me that the company would accept the offer Microsoftwho really only cares about patents and technologies, not the brand as such. Management BlackBerry is historically proud of its brand and would not like to see the company involved in an acquisition that involves something other than the entire brand BlackBerry, but only about technologies that Microsoft will be acquired by acquisition.

If it was just a few patents and technologies, I would prefer them to buy them Apple… :)
Whoever buys them will only do so for the patents and to use them to blackmail the competition. Management can want whatever they want, butonekoneIt is impossible to exist in the red.
