BlackBerry stock surges after company sold legacy patents for $600M

Blackberry (BB.US) stock managed to erased early losses and surged 10.0% after the communications software company agreed to sell its non-core legacy patents for $600 million to Catapult IP innovations, a special purpose vehicle formed specifically to buy those patents. Patents primarily relate to mobile devices, messaging, and wireless networks. "Patents that are essential to BlackBerry's current core business operations are excluded from the transaction," the company said Monday.

This transaction will not impact customers' use of any of BlackBerry's products, solutions or services."
