Another patent win for Visto
This time over SEVEN Networks.
Quote: although this case was never about monetary damages for Visto ... It was, and is, about protecting the rights of inventors and ensuring that innovative mobile email products remain accessible to all consumers around the world.
Right. It's about money and damaging a competitor. Mentioning inventors and consumers is a very bad excuse.
I wonder why so many providers still bother about mobile corporate e-mail, considering it's such a mine field patent-wise, and the market is yet so small. Maybe it's because of the latter that the involved players are so ruthless against competition. The smaller the territory, the more aggression.
