No need to guess. None of those companies are likely to buy VRNG. Let's go through them one by one with logic, not blind guesswork.

GOOGLE - just got the proverbial "get out of jail free" card from the Federal Circuit's reversal. With the I/P Engines currently invalidated due to obviousness, and not much time left until they expire, GOOG isn't going to see any value in buying VRNG.

AOL - see above, since AOL was tied to the case and partially settled prior to the jury trial on another aspect of infringement.

Yahoo - with GOOG currently off the hook, they aren't going to need (or want) the I/P Engine patents. They also don't produce anything related to the NOK patent portfolio so no need to go after those either.

ZTE - Chinese company called a security risk by the U.S. Congress. The House Intelligence Committee declared them a national security threat. Putting this into mathematical terms, the odds ZTE would ever be allowed to buy a U.S. company that owns patents related to U.S. government manufacturing, protocols, and equipment is somewhere between null and void.

Microsoft - thet already settled with VRNG on the I/P Engine patents. They do not need to the NOK patents because they bought NOK's mobile division which includes free use to all of the patents VRNG bought from NOK.

This sector is very advanced and investors would be better off not trying to make wild guesses about things that aren't likely to happen.
