Now I'm not so sure. I read the court ruling a few times but I don't see where it discusses a patent being transferred to another entity.

Dennis Crouch's Patently-O is quite authoritative, and his summary is "Apple retains its license regardless of who buys the patent rights" - but it's not clear to me where he gets that from.

Maybe his summary is obvious when you know US bankruptcy law. But I don't.

Or maybe it's clear if you read the court cases referenced by that recent court case. I'll do that if I find time.
