I would think this will definitely increase Google's interest in RIM and its patent arsenal.

  RIM is a co-owner of Rockstar.

    Even better, then.

    Ha. Didn't catch that! I wonder what percentage. Google could get some percentage of any potential judgement against themselves by buying RIM. It's like the M&A version of an option spread play.

      I suspect all parties to the Rockstar trove have equal rights to the patents (and unequal royalties). Buying RIM would make the lawsuit null and void, unless RIM agreed that their rights can't be assigned (eg to Google) upon purchase etc. Anyone have more knowledge on Rockstar and know how this would all work?
