It is the patents fault that the current situation exists. Whether a potential buyer might be able to change the situation is something independent. And of course, after not making a huge business out of eInk in 20 years, it is understandable that the buyers don't exactly line up to buy eInk - if they can be bought at all without the owners consent. The market for eInk devices could be much larger if it hadn't been so much restricted in the last 20 years.
