Judge deals RIM blow in BlackBerry case
Nov 30, 2005
woo hoo, kill my leash!
BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd.
was dealt another legal setback in a key patent infringement case on Wednesday, raising pressure to settle or face a possible shutdown of its U.S. mobile e-mail service.
I know some people that would hate that.
U.S. District Judge James Spencer rejected RIM’s request to delay the case and refused to enforce a disputed, $450 million settlement with patent holder NTP Inc.
I thought it was a very large cash case. that is nothing. they should ask for 450Billion.
Now RIM is a canadian Company. let them burn, Blame Canada!
“Valid patents would be rendered meaningless if an infringing party were allowed to circumvent the patents’ enforcement by incessantly delaying and prolonging court proceedings, which have already resulted in a finding of infringement,” Spencer said in his ruling from Richmond, Va.
Spencer said he would request briefs and set a hearing date to deal with NTP’s request for damages against RIM and an injunction that would halt U.S. sales of the BlackBerry and shut its service.
RIM shares, halted for the news, reopened down as much as 7.92 percent before recovering slightly to a decline of 5.2 percent at $61.55 on Nasdaq.
Please shut it down. People drive while typing email.

Nice to see you’re alive (at least I assume so, as indicated by this post).
I’d vote for killing your Blackberry, too… if it would mean I’d get to hear from you every now and then.
(Got lots of cool stuff to tell you, too! *grin*)
