From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:Alive enough to pay license fees
Tigerhawk offers a game theoretical analysis of the RIM/NPT litigation.
There's an odd qualification in the article he cites (emphasis mine):
As part of that litigation, NTP, whose only assets are wireless e-mail related patents, had been granted an injunction banning the sale of BlackBerry devices in the United States and forcing Research in Motion to stop providing e-mail services to all American customers except government account holders.
As long as the Feds are busy thumbing away at their Crackberries, they won't be tempted to get involved, I guess. Posted by Mindles H. Dreck at October 10, 2005 6:10 AM | TrackBack | Technorati inbound links

I'd like to hear the reasoning behind exempting the federal government from the injunction. That seems the worst sort of pandering, or perhaps the judge was trying to save his own Crackberry.

I believe the reasoning is that infringing uses by the Federal government have to be filed in a different venue.
