Sure whatever Business Journal says, do you also own one of them buggy Treo gadgets? Another report on the long standing dispute between RIM and NTP. Truth be told NTP can't afford to cut RIM off in the US seeing its 70% of their business, by doing so NTP could end up with nothing if RIM can't drive revenue to pay a settlement.

BlackBerry on trial as patent suit returns to court
---------------------------------------------------------
The future of the popular BlackBerry e-mail device could rest on the outcome of a court hearing in Virginia today, as Research in Motion squares off once again with NTP Inc.
The two companies are slugging it out in a patent infringement case that dates back four years, when NTP successfully sued RIM, complaining that the BlackBerry infringed on patents owned by NTP. A jury awarded NTP US$23.1 million. Judge James Spencer later increased the damages and royalty rate RIM must pay, and issued an injunction banning BlackBerry sales in the U.S.
After a round of appeals, all of which upheld NTP's initial victory, the case is now back before Judge Spencer for review.
