via cnet, RIM, Good Technology settle suits
Good Technology has signed a settlement and license agreement with Research In Motion, bringing to an end a series of lawsuits between the BlackBerry developer and the start-up.
RIM is also appealing a decision that they cannot sell in the US because of patent infringement on NTP.
A few days ago, i posted on P900 to get RIM capabilities and wondered why a similar deal with nokia hasn't closed and i think the answer from nokia has been "RIM won't indemnify nokia against their lawsuits" and i've heard the same thing is jeopardizing this deal with sony ericsson.
in laymens terms, RIM won't pay Nokia or Sony Ericsson for any losses or damages they incur by licensing the technology, especially for instance if the companies that are suing RIM also sue the other two companies.
