RIM Rejects More Patent Infringement Allegations

SilentOne writes "Waterloo based Research In Motion is facing new allegations of patent violation. 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. "

EUers say that the US really sucks, are bullies, etc., but without the United States, there would be no world economy. The American consumer overpays to bring products to market, and the rest of the world gets it at a cheaper price. Furthermore, the American market provides a crucial incentive to bring products to market. The sum of these effects that that without the United States, the world would be at the Stone Age, and it has nothing to do with American innovation but rather the utter idiocy and feckless spending of its citizen-consumers. No one would make drugs, illicit or prescription, if the American consumer was not dumb enough to overpay with American dollars--which other country drives up the price by illegalizing marijuana? The same goes for "entertainment" and pop "culture"--who else would may $20 for a music CD with spyware and put up with **IAA? Only the American consumer. Would Airbus try to bring the A380 to market if it couldn't sell to the good ol' USA? Probably not--wouldn't make the initial R & D outlay back.

Conclusion: it's hard to have an economy without the American market and its consumers. Walmart must be fed.
