OK, no surprise to me, but Blackberry has managed to survive.

Sounds like a compromise agreement, with RIM essentially shelling out over a half-billion bucks, but getting NTP to give RIM a “get out of patent lawsuits” card. At least, that’s what I take away from this at this point.

But still. NTP has essentially had all the patents it has sued RIM over declared, to some degree, invalid.

$600 million for baseless patents?

Something’s (well, lots) horribly wrong with the current patent system. I like the concept, I don’t like the reality.
