Yes indeed Blackberry is up to their neck in, well you know. Their service is in jeopardy of being shut down in the US but few analysts think this will happen. They could be forced to spend a billion dollars to settle the dispute. Ouch.

In my conversation with Jerry Weinberger of Rates Technology earlier this year, he made a point to tell me that Canadian companies aren’t as concerned about US patents as they should be. I am paraphrasing a bit but that was the gist of what I remember.

He seems to be pretty correct. At least at this juncture.
