“The settlement is a win-win deal, though it is very painful for RIM, and it proves that our patent system is completely broken. NTP gets $612 million for coming up with a fairly obvious idea, patenting it and suing a company too arrogant to settle early on.”
Avi Greengart
“NTP only wins if they get paid out. They don't win if RIM goes to zero. NTP is looking for money, plain and simple. And RIM has a lot of cash.”
Barry Richards
“Tough win. It was bouncing around the rim when the buzzer went off. Kind of dramatic.”
Dave Curry
“We are pleased to have reached an amicable settlement with RIM. We believe that the settlement is in the best interests of all parties, including the U.S. government and all other BlackBerry users in the United States.”
Donald E. Stout
“The sun's rim dips; the stars rush out: / At one stride comes the dark.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“Murray [Walker] sounds like a blindfolded man riding a unicycle on the rim of the pit of doom.”
Clive James
“Greg is such a workhorse. On one of his rebounds tonight I saw his elbow go above the rim. That was most impressive.”
