Well it looks like it is finally over, but it ends up costing RIM 612$ to fend of the trolls over at NTP. A group with no product, no staff, no office and up until today no money.
The sheer insanity of this ruling befuddle's me, I admit I am not an expert by any stretch in patent law, but this ruling was forced upon RIM by a US judge, with whom based his ruling on certain patents that NTP alledgedly had - ALL of which have sinced been negated.
Regardless of whether or not it makes sense, it is over - RIM shares are doing well, so the investment community see's this as a good end result.
Now, Skype please write a J2ME version so I can run it on my new 8700, that I am about to order....
