Judge Overturns Patent Suit, Rules RIM Did Not Infringe

Posted by timothy on from the oh-canada dept.

New submitter ottdmk writes "You may recall this recent Slashdot story about Mformation being awarded 147.2 million dollars in a patent suit against RIM. Well, it appears a California appeals judge has disagreed with that verdict. As part of the ruling, if Mformation successfully appeals, the matter will go to a new trial instead of the jury award being restored."

    Yes, thank you, Judge! Finally some good sense in this patent troll nonsense. Now to start forcing patent trolls to pay damages for their harassment.
