RIM says, No lawsuits please, we're Canadian

Blackberry maker/dealer Research In Motion has come up with a clever new strategy to counter NTP's
patent lawsuit — playing up their Canadian-ness. To get you up to speed: last year a federal court found that RIM had violated about a dozen of NTP's patents, ordering them to stop selling BlackBerry devices in the United States and pay NTP $53.7 million in damages. RIM managed to get another court to stay the order while they filed appeal, and last month an appeals court overturned the injunction barring them from selling BlackBerrys while upholding the most of the patent infrignement counts. Here's where it gets interesting.
Since RIM's based in Canada, and so are their servers, they're now arguing that US patent laws don't apply to them.
Seems unlikely that they'll be able to pull this one off, but they might be in luck—NTP might not even own those patents either. Yeah, this makes things hopelessly complicated now, but a company called Computer Leasco, Inc. is suing NTP for patent infringement, claiming that they're the ones that actually own the wireless email patents in question. Thus, RIM could still be in line for another lawsuit down the line—hang tough, guys.
