A US federal judge won't hold up court proceedings in NTP's patent lawsuit against Research In Motion (RIM), opening the door to a possible injunction that would stop sales of BlackBerry mobile email devices and shut down BlackBerry service, at least in the US.
Research in Motion has lowered its previous predictions of how many new BlackBerry subscribers it expects to sign up during both its current third fiscal quarter and the following fourth fiscal quarter. RIM blamed the likely drop-off in new subscribers on delayed launches of the latest BlackBerry handsets, according to a company statement.
The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has asked a judge to ensure that government users can continue to send each other email on their “essential” BlackBerry devices, even though the court has ruled against the maker of BlackBerry devices in a patent infringement case.
