The NTP vs. Research in Motion patent suit will probably resurface this Spring due to a recent effort by the Government of Canada and other Canadian organizations to have the case reheard in U.S. Federal Courts. It's not clear if the U.S. patent applies to RIM, a Canadian company, because key elements of the technology in dispute are not employed on U.S. soil. Nevertheless, the case brings to light the need for innovative companies to obtain patents on their technology. Something that, apparently, Canadian companies aren't doing as much as their southern counterparts.RIM Patent Suit Reinvigorated
