In my opinion, this list does not represent the patents Chen is referring to. First, in the earnings call, he spoke of a large part of the 38,000 patents that were up for sale, not just the few. Quote Chen: "Well, it’s a major portion of our portfolio".
Second, BlackBerry is in negotiations with an North American party. Quote: "This quarter, we entered into an exclusive negotiation with a North American party for the sale of the portion of the company’s patent portfolio primarily related to mobile devices, messaging, and wireless networking."
