Attention All Crackberry Hounds

Judge declines to issue injunction against RIM

BlackBerry service to continue to operate, but judge urges settlement

More than 3 million Americans are BlackBerry users. RICHMOND, Va. - A judge Friday stopped short of ordering an immediate shutdown of millions of BlackBerry portable e-mail devices made by Research In Motion Ltd. But U.S. District Judge James Spencer said there was no escaping that RIM had been found to be infringing on NTP Inc.’s patents and he would issue a decision on an injunction “as soon as reasonably possible.”
