Will be interesting to see whether the USPTO treats the US companies (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Moto) with the same sort of threat.

They have a right to sue and if they have a valid case and should win then kudos for them.

Apple, Google, and the rest should pay if they violated the law. No one is above the law.]]>Jul 9th 2010 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/

This is false. Patent law only pertains to the company that is producing and profiting from an infringing product. If it were allowable to sue any user of an infringing product, then consumers would have to spend a lot more time studying patents to make sure that a product they want will not infringe (which is ridiculous).]]>Jul 9th 2010 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/Jul 9th 2010 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/

Wow what a stupid high rated comment. You use email so they should sue you too? You do realize suing over patents is because a COMPANY USES IT FOR PROFIT OR IN THEIR PRODUCT right? You can't sue a normal joe for just using it.]]>Jul 9th 2010 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/
"the inventor of wireless email."

Wait , What?!

Email is a standard of protocols (example SMTP) that use TCP/IP infrastructure, so any client (wire or wireless) that have access to that network infrastructure (read the internet) can use the email in same way regardless how the bits is transmitted as that is layer 1 of network communication and email is layer 7.

So what wireless email mean?!]]>Jul 10th 2010 6:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/Jul 10th 2010 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/Jul 10th 2010 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/
NTP is just a bunch of lawyers who couldn't think of anything to make themselves so they go and patent anything they can find that others forgot to patent, then sit and wait quietly as that 'idea' evolves and becomes very valuable before they sue and make their big pay day.]]>Jul 10th 2010 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/Jul 9th 2010 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/Jul 9th 2010 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/Jul 9th 2010 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/Aug 12th 2010 10:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/Jul 9th 2010 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://dontlol.calcaria.net]]>Jul 9th 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/Jul 9th 2010 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/Jul 9th 2010 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://dontlol.calcaria.net/ !!!]]>Jul 9th 2010 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/Jul 9th 2010 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/Jul 9th 2010 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/ntp-awakes-sues-apple-microsoft-google-htc-lg-and-motorola/

RIM's back was against the wall and they settled for business reasons. Can't see three of the largest US companies agreeing to settle unless it’s a token amount (to allow NTP to save face and not be counter-sued by its licensees - e.g. RIM).
