Judge delays decision on BlackBerry cutoff
By
A U.S. judge on Friday stopped short of ordering an immediate shutdown of millions of BlackBerry portable e-mail devices, but reminded manufacturer Research In Motion Ltd. it had already been found to have infringed the patents of NTP Inc.
Wrapping up nearly four hours of arguments, Spencer said there was no escaping that RIM had been found to be infringing on NTP’s patents. “The simple truth, the reality of the jury verdict has not changed,” Spencer said, adding that the parties should have settled out of court. Spencer said he would take the arguments he had heard under advisement and issue a decision on an injunction “as soon as reasonably possible.”
