I was thinking about this... Let's say Magic Leap survives for another 2 years, then defaults. That gives you 8 years left on those key patents. It just doesn't seem like enough time to actually build something and sell it. So like you say, the only real value is in selling it to someone who would like it as part of a defensive portfolio (not too likely in my books)... or using them in a patent troll fashion (suing other people for patent infringement despite the fact that you never intend to use the patent yourself). My question is: Who does JPM think they would sue in this case to justify the value? I wouldn't think there were too many candidates to choose from (both in VR and have piles of cash that you can liberate)...
