NETW 583 Week 3 Case Study 2: Research in Motion

NETW583


Research in Motion, better known as RIM, was founded in 1984 by mike Lazaridis and Doug

Fregin. RIM attempted to commercialize a system that displayed information that was received

wirelessly on a TV (Fingas, 2013). Blackberry spent almost the next 20 years becoming the

leader in the wireless data communication devices. The Blackberry that is known today, started

in March 2002 then RIM launched the Blackberry 5810. In 2005 the 8700 series finally provided

the consumer market with not only an email device, but a phone and full keyboard all in one

device. From 2005 to 2010, RIM saw itself rise to the top of the smartphone market and then

tumble quickly to the bottom. Having lost an enormous amount of market share, RIM once again

attempted to increase its market share by releasing the Blackberry 10 in 2013 (Fingas, 2013).

Over the life of the company, RIM was depended upon by corporations worldwide due to their

OS and trustworthiness in the security of their product (Geller, 2009). In being so popular and

such a large part of the market at one point, RIM was forced to defend itself from claims of

patent infringement as well as accuse other companies of the same. Following are some

examples of a few of the patent cases RIM was involved in over the years.

1. RIM filed a complaint against Glenayre Electronics, Inc. for infringing on RIM’s

Blackberry Single Mailbox Integration Patent which was part of the BlackBerry

wireless email solution (Research In Motion, 2001).

2. RIM filed a complaint against Handspring for infringing on RIM’s keyboard patents

in several Handspring devices (Fried, 2002).

3. Patent holding company NTP sued RIM for multiple patent violations which at one

point even threatened to shut down the entire Blackberry network. On March 3, 2006
