Canada-based national business newspaper the National Post has the most complete profile of NTP co-founder and power behind the RIM patent dispute litigation Don Stout that I have read to date.Some factoids from the article, written by the National Post's Kevin Restivo:
A patent lawyer, Tom Stout was introduced to eventual NTP founder Thomas Campana as a result of a conversation with a fellow basketball player at a Washington, D.C.-area gym.
After Campana passed away in June, 2004, Stout has been running NTP with former telecom consultant Bill White, who is based in London.
Stout, 59, and his wife Mary have a son and a daughter.
NTP's chief attorney, Jim Wallace (at right) initially met Stout during a case in the 1970s, but re-upted their professonal relationship in 1993 during a satellite communications case.
Wallace owns a BlackBerry- and it must be presumed, ocasionally uses it.
