Who's Behind Secretive Patent Buyer JGR Acquisition?

theodp writes "Pssst, wanna make $10? It's yours if you go to Google Answers before Jan. 7 and identify who's behind JGR Acquisition, the mysterious company that paid $15.5M to acquire key Web Services patents at a Commerce One liquidation auction. Thus far, posters have correctly pegged recently-registered Delaware firm JGR Acquisition as the buyer (confirmed by this SEC filing). JGR's registered DE agent shares the same phone number and address as the law firm of Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell, whose representative client list is headed by Amazon.com and also includes AT&T, Citibank and CyberCash.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
