RIM - The Whole Story

Posted by Zonk on from the better-than-pirates-of-silicon-valley dept.

khendron writes "The Globe and Mail has published an article titled Patently Absurd, detailing the whole history of the RIM vs. NTP wireless war. It is a blow by blow account of how a dispute that could have been settled for a few million dollars is now 'a billion-dollar dagger hanging over RIM.' The article reads like a fairy-tale of egos, legal blunders, and patent stupidity."

  1. RIM Has Itself to Blame by tealover · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Of course they're going to blame their destruction on everyone else now but I dont feel sorry for them. They shouldn't have violated the patents, they shouldn't have lied about a workaround and they should have settled when they had a chance. I personally hope they are destroyed.
