Visto Files Lawsuit against Research In Motion
May 1st, 2006
Immediately following their victory over SEVEN Networks, Visto attorneys filed a similar suit against Research In Motion (RIM), the manufacture of the popular BlackBerry handsets.
Friday’s sweeping decision against Seven Networks validates our claims that Visto’s intellectual property serves as the basis for this industry’s birth. There was no ambiguity in the jury’s decision. Likewise we believe that RIM’s infringement of Visto’s technology will be halted. Our case against RIM is based on similar technology, law and patents as the case we have just won in federal court against Seven Networks.
Further strengthening Visto’s case against RIM is the fact that patent 6,085,192 has recently completed a re-examination at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The patent was upheld as valid over the substantial literature examined by the USPTO.
