NTP Brings Suit Against All Four National Carriers

posted Sep 11, 2007, 1:39 PM

NTP has brought suit against the four nationwide US carriers for patent infringement. The suits allege that email services offered by the carriers violate NTP's mobile email patents. After a long trial, RIM settled with NTP earlier this year, paying over $600 million to license NTP's patents. Though their Blackberry offerings are covered by this agreement, each carrier offers its own push email services as well, such as T-Mobile's My Email. NTP is seeking damages and injunctions against the carriers for offering these services.
