RIM litigation in Germany

Research In Motion provided <A HREF="http://www.rim.com/news/press/2006/pr-30_01_2006-01.shtml">an update following a ruling</A> in the Research In Motion UK Limited versus InPro Licensing litigation in the Federal Patent Court in Munich, Germany. InPro, a patent holding firm based in Luxembourg, had previously asserted a patent in Germany, alleging infringement with respect to certain BlackBerry products. RIM subsequently filed a nullity action in the Nullity Patent Court seeking a declaration that the InPro patent is invalid. The Nullity Patent Court has now ruled in favor of RIM by deciding that all patent claims in InPro's German-designated European Patent are invalid.
