Everything in her post was false. And that is everything. She said that NTPs patents were declared invalid and yet RIMM still settled with them. Thats false. The patents were not declared invalid, and even the link in JPs post states that. RIMM settled because the court case was moving faster then the Patent Office was moving. If I recall they asked the court to delay the case and the court said no, so they settled, because they didnt want to risk losing the case before the patent office got around to declaring the patents invalid.

Then she stated NTP bought Virgin. They didnt buy Virgin, they bought a small piece of Virgin.

Then she said licenses dont transfer when a business is bought. That is false as well. No company buys a business and then has to shut down that business' operation until they can go and renegotiate licenses that that business had. Further more even NEOMs own statements make her claim false. When Symbol got bought a shareholder here emailed the company, and asked if their license transferred to Motorola and the answer from NEOM that was posted here was yes the licence did transfer. I think I have those two companies right.

I see that she has responded to you stating she presented some facts. I would like to see the source of those facts, because as I stated even JPs post states in the link about the RIMM settlement that the patents hadnt been declared invalid yet by the patent office. Yes the denied the patent request but on what grounds? And since it was the second final rejection by the patent office, how many do you get before a final ruling they are invalid? Apparently from the sounds of the article they had at least 1 more shot to refile them, but the court case was moving faster and RIMM settled out of court. Here is the quote from JPs link and I reposted the link here as well again, for those who did not read it.

"""""""""""""""The patent office just issued its second final rejection on NTP's patents -- meaning that it was almost to point where the patents were ruled invalid," he said.
