RIM announces a "workaround." But is it too little, too late?

WATERLOO, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2006--Research In Motion (RIM) today provided an update in the patent litigation between RIM and NTP, Inc. ("NTP"). RIM has developed and tested software workaround designs for all BlackBerry® handsets operating on converged voice/data networks in the United States. Although there is no injunction order in place, and RIM believes it has strong legal and factual arguments opposing an injunction, RIM has developed these software workaround designs as a contingency to allow BlackBerry service to continue should the court implement an injunction in the current litigation involving the NTP patents.
