 ^ MiamiHerald.comKodak Sues RIM and Apple Over Lawsuit-Magnet iPhonePC WorldKodak has sued Apple and BlackBerry maker Research in Motion over a patent that allows image previews, but it'll have to get in line.

 This court is well-known for its strict adherence to timetables and deadlines, sometimes referred to as the "rocket docket," and is particularly efficient at trying patent cases.[15]
.The jury eventually found that the NTP patents were valid, that RIM had infringed them, that the infringement had been "willful," and that the infringement had cost NTP $33 million in damages (the greater of a reasonable royalty or lost profits).^ Apple, RIM Accused of Infringing Kodak Patents (Update4) .

 ^ Apple, RIM Accused of Infringing Kodak Patents (Update3) .

 The judge, James R. Spencer, increased the damages to $53 million as a punitive measure because the infringement had been willful. .He also instructed RIM to pay NTP's legal fees of $4.5 million and issued an injunction ordering RIM to cease and desist infringing the patents.^ Of course, RIM was sitting on an enviable IP portfolio of its own by this point, and that portfolio was starting to pay dividends right around the time of NTP's original filing.

The blackberry is an edible fruit made by any of several species in the Rubus genus of the Rosaceae family. Blackberries and raspberries are also called "caneberries" or "brambles." It is a widespread, and well known group of over 375 species, which are closely related apomictic microspecies native all over the temperate Northern hemisphere and South America. The blackberry grows to about 3 m in height. It makes an edible black fruit, known by the same name. The plant tolerates poor soil very well. It is very pervasive. It will grow fast, taking over uncultivated spots very fast. The black, juicy plump ones taste sweeter than the pre-mature blackberries (the red ones).
