Nokia Wins Patent Battle Against Blackberry
The two are settling all their litigation
Nokia and Research In Motion have settled all of their patent disputes, but the BlackBerry maker appears to have landed on the wrong side of the deal.
Nokia announced today that it has agreed to a deal with RIM that will end all patent-infringement litigation between the companies. RIM has agreed to make a one-time payment to Nokia to settle the cases. Going forward, RIM will give Nokia "ongoing payments," for the right to use its patents.
