BlackBerry Faces New Patent Squeeze
Created 07.05.2006 - 11:55

After 10 years of relative obscurity, Visto Inc. hopes its name will soon be linked to the patent case that shuts down the BlackBerry e-mail service. It also wants to be known as the one company in the wireless e-mail business that's not going to be the target of patent litigation. It's sued five companies over its wireless patents in Texas federal court, and so far, a jury has found three patents had been infringed and awarded the company $3.6 million. But some warn that Visto may be overextending itself.
