Nothing says we want developers on our platform like suing the popular app makers. Even if there seemed to be some IP theft here, I think lawsuit is a horrible way to solve the problem. There is just no PR spin you could put here to fix this.
- jonknee 16y agoHow else would you resolve an IP theft situation? Asking nicely?
- dalore 16y agoNot approving the app in the first place into their store, wait till they are popular and a threat. If they are stealing IP then RIM should not have let them onto the store to begin with. RIM should know what their IP is. I would say that if they RIM already reviewed their app and let it onto the store, that is a tacit implication that they approved the app with RIM's (alleged) IP in it.
- jonknee 16y agoPerhaps RIM's IP attorney isn't working at the app store? Lucky for RIM though, I'm sure the app store legal agreements don't include anything silly like having an approval be a license for any RIM IP.
