Visto Corp. of Redwood Shores, Calif., said Monday that it had won an infringement case against Seven Networks, also of California, and is now targeting RIM for infringing four patents, including three involved in the Seven action. "Our case against RIM is based on similar technology, law and patents as the case we have just won," Visto said in a statement. "

    The whole company is frustrated/fearful of this whole situation, and we just want to keep our jobs

    Well, I sure hope you all don't lose your RIM jobs.

    I'm betting there are a lot of kids out there who will stay as far away from inventing something as they can (at least in the USA anyway!)

    No matter which company wins this round, the lawyers win, ALWAYS. I say we take'em out of the equation.

    Nice to finally see an aggressive Canadian rant!! Why didn't they just let the US carriers stop selling BB's if the court had the balls to impose an injunction instead of paying NTP for useless patents? How long does it take to lose 600 million? However, perhaps Visto does have some good patents. I guess we'll see.
