Blackberry settles with RIM
by Brian Turner
RIM, maker of the popular Blackberry PDA, has finally settled with NTP over patent violations for $650.
The move comes after the judge presiding on the case pushed for a settlement, to avoid being forced to shut down the Blackberry service – which could have adversely impacted many US governmental employees.
The case has been something of a drama in the technology world, and dragged on after an earlier settlement for $450 million fell apart.
We can only hope now that white collar workers around the world can now access their email with peace of peace, without having to worry about their service being terminated without notice.
