Nortel announced earlier that it was delaying the sale of about 6,000 patents and patent applications until June 27 after the Canadian company said previously it would hold the sale on Monday.
The patents include intelligence on wireless Internet technology and social networking. Nortel, which filed for bankruptcy in January 2009, has already sold most of its physical assets.
The Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, said the San Francisco firm RPX Corp was also accepted as a qualified bidder for the patents.
Intel declined to comment on Saturday, while Apple did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
