WSJ.com - Research In Motion Scores Victory in Patent Fight

WSJ.com - Research In Motion Scores Victory in Patent Fight: "In its typically cryptic language, the Patent Office indicated Thursday that the rejection would have been a so-called 'final office action' but for a 'new rejection based on a strongly anticipatory printed publication (Norwegian Telecommunications report) (also known as Telenor) that was recently disclosed by the patent owner.'
It appears that NTP told the Patent Office about a company called Telenor whose technology predates NTP's claims, rendering them invalid, according to Lance Johnson, patent lawyer at Roylance, Abrams, Berdo Goodman LLP in Washington."
