Mformation Technologies, a New Jersey based handset management software company, said Friday that they have sued Research in Motion for patent infringement.  The firm claims that RIM has infringed upon two patents related to “remote device management”.

“After refusing to license Mformation’s disclosed systems and software, RIM modified its BlackBerry software to include Mformation’s patented systems and methods of remote management,” Mformation said.

Mformation has not yet specified what remidies it is seeking.

Research in Motion And Motorola Sue Each Other Over Patents

by Robb Dunewood on February 19, 2008 · 4 comments

(sarcasm)We know that last company that you would ever expect to be involved in a patent infringement lawsuit would be Research in Motion(/sarcasm), however, that is exactly what the BlackBerry maker is wrapped up in with Motorola.

Motorola is claiming that the way most BlackBerry 8xxx series devices store contact info in wireless emails and the ability to recognize incoming phone numbers infringes on their patents.

In a clever legal move often referred to as the “Whatever you can do we can also do“, RIM has filed their own claim against Motorola stating that the thumb keyboard is awfully similar to those found on BlackBerrys.
