Interesting point - i believe we have the same firm the winning company had in the RIM case
Yes there are many patented parts of predictive text you can read the 51 pg. now Gov't Protected patent WL has and see how it is different - I'm sure this vagueness will be cleared up going forward
our law firm won $1 Billion from MSFT, just to drop one name
and
WL doesn't pay 1 cent till we collect
yes the long legal time frame may be a factor but smart compaines would want to DEAL a better settlement earlier rather then bear the full brunt of the infringent later on
