Will RIM Surrender?
June 15th, 2004 Posted in Main Page
Now that Nokia has signed a licensing agreemwnt with NTP involving five wireless patents, the big question is whether Research in Motion will follow suit. When the world's biggest wireless device maker - at least for now - gives in, it seems logical that RIM would see the light as well. Given RIM has spent millions of dollars to defend itself against NTP since the legal dispute broke out two years ago, RIM may be dug in for a long battle. The risk, however, is that RIM will lose a recent appeal, and be forced to pay NTP anyway. Perhaps RIM knows something Nokia didn't.
