Blackberry gets major boost from US Patent Office

The US Patent and Trademark Office has sided with BlackBerry portable e-mail device maker Research in Motion Ltd. by issuing a non-final rejection of a fifth patent at the center of its legal battle with patent holding company NTP Inc.

This should prove to be a major boost to Blackberry, even though it probably won't yet call an end to the running battle between NTP and RIM. All those business leaders from the WEF's recent meeting in Davos can breath a small sigh of relief. For their Blackberry's won't get switched off quite yet.
