"It is very likely that the NEW Nokia will make in 2014, 100x the profits from their patents with royalties, than they would have made if they held on to POS D&S. I also would like to know who will be getting the yearly $0.5 BILLION royalties, with 100% margins mind you, from Apple? Nokia or Microsoft? Cause they way I read it, I think it is Nokia." Most of the mobile world is already licensed to Nokia's patents, the majority with royalty free cross licenses that Nokia no longer needs (and are probably now assigned to Microsoft after the transaction). Whatever royalty stream that Nokia does have will stay with Nokia (this is mostly from Apple and RIM, I would think). Expect Nokia to be more aggressive in pursuing new royalty deals as old ones expire, now that they are a NPE in handsets. In theory, by keeping the infrastructure business, they still have a toehold in developing new wireless technologies, so the patent pipeline could stay intact, but I'll believe it when I see it.
