RIM Stuck With $147.2 Million Patent Verdict to Mformation - BerryReview
Mformation was awarded a patent lawsuit verdict against RIM late this week to the tune of $8 for each BlackBerry using Mformation’s patent in the US. RIM supposedly has well over a year before they have to pay and they are still considering appeals or contesting the decision. The $8 per device is pretty high especially for patent decisions. The patent in question is not mentioned by TheStar but it does have to do with BlackBerry Enterprise Software. Mformation claims it told RIM about the technology in licensing talks and then RIM used it without licensing it.
