"The Rockstar Consortium" was formed to buy Nortel's patents. Google was a rival bidder for the husk that was Nortel, and they lost. Everyone in the tech community pretty much saw that Microsoft, Apple and other were going to sue Google into submission because they lost.

One time long ago innovation was more important than litigation.

Then patents were allowed on 'ideas' and 'processes', and corporations decided litigation and intimidation over Intellectual Property was a valid business model. And the 'IP/Copyright Troll' method was born.

If Blackberry gets bought out, this might get worse as they own most of the Wireless portfolio of patents that used to belong to Nortel.
