The long decline of Yahoo has had a variety of causes, and even the hiring of Marissa Mayer has not turned around the company's fortunes. While most of the largest names in the Internet have been speculated as potential buyers, Verizon and SoftBank are likely to bid. The UK tabloid The Daily Mail may also make a bid with an equity partner.
Yahoo has a number of assets including its stake in Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba, three percent annually of Yahoo Japan's gross profits, 6,000 patents, and over one million square feet of office space around its Sunnyvale, California main office. Much like the television deal made in the merger of the ABA-NBA, the perpetual payment terms have grown significantly in value.

They have been hiring and firing people every next quarter in the hope of monetization, but to no avail. Old people who don't like change are the only ones visiting Yahoo's homepage. So it cannot be changed much. Same with yahoo groups - Facebook groups are taking over. If Facebook implementes a non-intrusive un-censored group feature - yahoo is a goner! Yahoo weather - that is a service everyone seems to use but then, who actually will miss it?
Patents are like you trying to burn a house down but your parents won't live it. So you wait it out...
