- gamble 16y agoThanks for the link. I wasn't aware the patent was still in question. I don't think it invalidates my point, though. RIM was criticized for waiting too long before settling the case, and thus paying 10x what NTP originally asked for. Waiting for the patent office to invalidate the patent takes long enough that it has plenty of its own risks.
